About

Peltigera latiloba is a species of lichen-forming fungus in the family Peltigeraceae. It is a large, leafy (foliose) lichen with broad, boat-shaped lobes and a hairy upper surface, growing on mossy ground in subalpine and low-alpine habitats. Like other members of the P. aphthosa group, it is a trimembered lichen, housing both a green alga and a cyanobacterium as photosynthetic partners. It was described in 2005 from Norway and Alaska, and has since been recorded from Greenland, East Karelia, and Kamchatka.
