Throughout coastal southern and Baja Caifornia. I’ve found it as far north as Point Lobos state Park near Monterey.
Common Name: Antler Sea-Fog Lichen
Antler-shaped fruticose lichen on rocks on sea bluffs and cliffs. The branches are rounded, pointed, loosely-branched, often with black splotches (maculae) and circumferential cracks.

Rocks along immediate coast on bluffs and cliffs, apparently never on soil.
This is rather distinctive among the Niebla, with only N. cedrosensis being very similar.
N. cedrosensis is duller, lacks black splotches, with blunter tips. It is restricted to the islands and a few places on mainland Baja.
N. ceruchoides and N. tuberculata have much finer and more intricately-branched branches, the latter with isiose-papillae as well.
N. combeoides has stubby, unbranched, often more angular branches, with abundant terminal apothecia.
N. homalea and the rest have flattened or irregularly-angular branches.
