Cladina stellaris, or "star-tipped reindeer lichen" among talus boulders, northern Maine. In the form of fermented caribou stomach contents, this lichen was a favorite food in traditional cultures of far-northern North America. It was eaten fresh, and fed to dogs, in times of famine. The Woods Cree (Nihithawak) used it as a treatment for intestinal parasites.
This lichen species is probably the single most important food source for caribou and reindeer, especially in winter.
Many lizards around the world show coloration which may well
be evolved to blend against a background of lichens. One possible
example from North America is the chuckwalla (Sauromalus obesus),
which has a mottled appearance that mimics the lichen-covered rocks
among which it lives.

It’s a type of Lichen deer’s moos caribou and a multitude of animals eat this plant, no mater where you live theirs a type of Lichen near you. My uromastyx don’t eat it, however if they need it they can have it as it has many essential properties.
Aim presently studying this plant and how it can improve my captives.
