Ramalina dasypoga is a species of fruticose lichen that grows as a shrub-like thallus with numerous branched and tangled filaments. It has a grayish-green to yellowish-green color and produces apothecia that are brown to dark brown. In East and Central Texas, Ramalina dasypoga is commonly found on trees, particularly oak and cedar, and on rocky outcrops, typically in areas with full sun to partial shade and moderate to high humidity. It thrives in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, savannas, and rocky glades, and is often associated with other lichen species, such as Cladonia and Usnea.
