Buellia erubescens, the common button lichen, is a species of lichen in the genus Buellia.[1] It is found commonly on the bark and occasionally on the wood of Quercus, Pinus, Juniperus, or other species of trees with bark that has generally low pH. It is common between 600 and 3,000 m (2,000 and 9,800 ft) elevation, and is common in submontane to subalpine forests.[2]
