What is Usnic acid powder?

Usnic acid powder is a naturally occurring dibenzofuran derivative found in several lichen species. It was first isolated in 1844 by the German scientist W. Knop and first synthesized by Curd and Robertson between 1933-1937. Usnic acid is found in many lichen genera, including Usnea, Cladonia, Lecanora, Ramalina, Evernia, Parmelia, and Alectoria.
