Psora vallesiaca (Schaer.) Timdal

A species similar to the better-known P. decipiens, distinguished by brown squamules and the presence of norstictic acid in the medulla (K+ red). It grows on exposed calcareous soil and soil in rock cracks. It is a rare species in Europe, with the distribution centre in the Mediterranean. Psora vallesiaca is rare in central Europe. In the Czech Republic, it used to be known at a single locality – Jurassic limestones of the Kotouč hill near Štramberk (Suza 1943). However, it was mined off for the most part, and thus the species is considered extinct in the Czech Republic.
