Letharia columbiana (common name brown-eye wolf lichen, synonyms Letharia californica, Borrera columbiana) is a common lichen in subalpine forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, and parts of Canada.

Though previously believed to lump together several lineages such as Letharia gracilis and others, there now exists more specific characteristics to identify the species. This lichen grows on the bark of conifers a couple inches tall. L. Columbiana’s cousin, Letharia vulpina (common name wolf lichen), has similar geographical distribution and morphological features, with the major difference being the “brown
