Ciri dan struktur
Usnea lambii grows erect and (i.e. small and bushy), reaching up to about 2 cm in height. The thallus is narrowly anchored at the base, branching sparsely. The basal are mostly sulphurous-yellow in color but can darken above, with a smooth and somewhat polished texture. They do not have any significant or annular (ring-like) features. The thinner, ultimate branches may develop a banded appearance due to blackening. These branches have abundant soredia which are yellowish, possibly turning black, with a grainy texture. Neither apothecia (sexual reproductive structures) nor pycnidia (asexual reproductive structures) have been observed in the species. There are two chemotypes of U. lambii: chemotype 1 contains usnic acid, while chemotype 2 contains usnic acid and psoromic acid as major substances, hypostrepsilic acid as a minor component, and trace amounts of isostrepsilic acid. It has similarities with Usnea sulphurea due to the loose nature of the medulla but can be distinguished by its branches which are not scabrid-verruculose. It is also noted to closely resemble Usnea acromelana but has distinct differences in medulla and central strand structure.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
The discovery of Usnea lambii in the Northern Hemisphere, specifically on Mount Rainier, was significant at the time, as traditionally, Neuropogon species had mostly found in the Southern Hemisphere. This particular species, having affinities with arctic species but being found in Mount Rainier rather than high elevations in the Rocky Mountains (similar to some other bipolar lichens), has a unique distribution pattern.
