Niebla podetiaforma is a fruticose lichen that grows frequently on small stones in fog regions along the Pacific Coast of Baja California from San Vicente Canyon to Morro Santo Domingo.[1] The epithet, podetiaforma is in reference to a primary inflated branch of the thallus that resembles a podetium,[2] a common feature in the lichen genus Cladonia.
