Piccolia nannaria is a species of crustose lichen in the class Lecanoromycetes.[2] It is widespread but uncommon in the coastal plain of southeastern North America. Initially thought to be corticolous (bark-dwelling), later collection of the lichen suggest that it may be lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling).
