Lepraria finkii, or Bruce's Lucky Dust,[2] is a type of lichen in the genus Lepraria.[3] Its colours range from a greenish-gray to a bluish-green. The organism is generally found everywhere in the world, but more commonly found in tropical areas; it can be spotted in shaded areas on tree trunks, overtaking bryophytes, in soil banks, and in dry niches.[4] It's named in honor of lichenologist Bruce Fink.[2]
