Pertusaria flavida is a species of crustose lichen in the family Pertusariaceae. It was first formally described as a new species by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1815 as Variolaria flavida. Jack Laundon transferred it to the genus Pertusaria in 1963.

Where the DNA of Pertusaria flavida was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
