Opegrapha vulgata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) script lichen in the family Graphidaceae.[2] It was first scientifically described by Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius in 1798, as Lichen vulgata. He transferred it to the genus Opegrapha in 1803.[3] The lichen has a cosmopolitan distribution, and grows on the bark of a wide variety of tree species. Opegrapha niveoatra is similar in appearance, but can be distinguished form O. vulgata by its longer, curved [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]. O. lithygra is another lookalike, but it grows on rocks instead of bark.[4]
