Pertusaria mccroryae is a species of white or greenish white crustose lichen. It is found in northwestern North America (Alaska, British Columbia, Idaho, Oregon, and Montana), in forests with old trees.[1] It grows from low elevation to 1700m on bark of living trees (Picea sitchensis, Thuja plicata, and Tsuga heterophylla) or on logs, and is named in honor of Colleen McCrory, a Canadian Environmental Activist.[1]
