Identification. Morphologically similar to L. leucomelos , but differs in having medulla yellow, sometimes white and with orange-pink spots ( Díaz-Escandón 2017). Ecology and distribution. Leucodermia lutescens was recorded in the departments of Boyacá, Caldas, Casanare, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Nariño, Norte de Santander, Tolima, and Valle del Cauca, in sub-Andean and Andean forests from 1000 to 3000 m a.s.l., on bark along with liverworts ( Díaz-Escandón 2017). In SNSM, it was found in coffee crops in the sub-Andean forest, between 1550 and 1640 m a.s.l., on bark.
