... -Umbilicaria hirsuta is rare throughout its North American range (Brodo 2016, Llano 1950). The species is apparently uncommon in western North America where it is known from scattered localities (Kofranek & McCune 2008). Our specimen appears to be the first report from the Midwest. ...

Umbilicaria hirsuta colonized an old travel trailer parked in a pasture in western Montana, U.S.A. Although the species has been reported several times from Montana, beginning with Llano (1950), all of the previous reports were based on the same initial record from Glacier County on the east side of the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park (McCune et al. 2014).
