Wahlenbergiella mucosa is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. It is a marine species that grows in the littoral zone, and therefore remains immersed in seawater for extended periods. Its photobiont partner is the green alga Paulbroadya petersii.[2]

The lichen was first formally described by Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius as Verrucaria mucosa. The original type specimens were collected by Göran Wahlenberg from northern Europe.[3] Cécile Gueidan and Holger Thüs transferred the taxon to the newly circumscribed Wahlenbergiella in 2009 following molecular phylogenetic-directed revisions of the family Verrucariaceae; it is the type species of that genus.[4]

It is one of several marine Verrucariaceae lichens that have been investigated for use as possible bioindicators of coastal water pollution.[5]
