This lichen has yellow pseudocyphellae on the lower surface and tomentum on the upper surface (McCune, p. 353).

Pseudocyphellaria mallota is an endemic lichen to the PNW.

Is known to be seen from Alaska and down south to the Olympic Peninsula, as well as the Oregon Cascades (McCune, p. 353). However, in Washington state, the managed areas of this lichen are: North Cascades National Park, Olympic National Park, Olympic National Forest, and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest (Miller, et al, p. 9).

In cyanolichen-rich forests and semi-open areas at low to middle elevations, this P. mallota grows on bark and wood of confiers, hardwoods, and shrubs (McCune, p. 353).

Whether or not this lichen has an economic importance, cross checking listed herbariums for correct species, revisiting historical sites, and the logistics of environmental restoration.

No known use and/or trade.
