Peltigera shennongjiana is a species of terricolous (ground-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae.[1] Found in Central China, it was formally described as a new species in 2019 by Liu-Fu Han and Shou-Yu Guo. The type specimen was collected from Laojunshan Mountain in the Shennongjia Forestry District (Hubei Province) at an elevation of 900 m (3,000 ft); here it was found growing on mosses over rocks and soil. The species epithet refers to the type locality.[2]
