Xanthoria aureola, commonly known as the seaside sunburst lichen, is a lichenized species of fungus in the family Teloschistaceae and phylum Ascomycota.[1] X. aureola can be recognized by its bright yellow-orange pigmentation and abundant strap-shaped lobes.[2] It is usually found growing on exposed, nutrient-rich rocks in sunny, maritime habitats.[3][4] It is largely restricted to European coasts, stretching from Portugal to Norway.[1]
