What is Black Stone Flower (Kalpasi)?

Black Stone Flower, scientifically named Didymocarpus pedicellatus, is an edible lichen that grows naturally on stones, trees, and rocks. Known by various regional names such as Pathar ka Phool (Hindi), Kalahu (Kannada), Badal Poove (Malayalam), Dagad Phool (Marathi), Marapasi (Tamil), Rathi Puvulu (Telugu), and Riham Karmani (Urdu), it is prized for its soft, dry, and fluffy texture combined with a rich, woody fragrance.
