Baeomyces carneus is a species of terricolous and saxicolous (ground- and rock-dwelling), squamulose lichen in the family Baeomycetaceae.[2] It was first scientifically described as a new species in 1821 by the German lichenologist Heinrich Gustav Flörke, in his work Deutsche Lichenen ("German Lichens"). It maintains its original name after two centuries of taxonomic history.[1] The lichen has a circumpolar distribution, typically in coniferous forests but extending north to tundra in North America.[3] It is widely distributed in the boreal forest region of North America,[4] and also occurs in Europe, New Zealand, the West Indies, and Hawaii.[3]
