Rhizocarpon furax is a species of lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae. It is found in Europe, where it has a scattered distribution.[1]

Rhizocarpon furax is a lichenicolous fungi, meaning that it grows on the thallus of other lichens. It was originally reported from Lecidea swartzioidea[2] but has since been reported growing on Lecidea lapicida[3][2] and Tremolecia atrata.[4]
