Rick Stein on his Indian series discussed Kal Pasi / Black Stone Flower / Parmotrema perlatum which is a type of lichen used in some Indian cooking. Does anyone here have experience of cooking with lichen. Do you collect any for cooking.

It's used for dyeing wool etc, I wonder if it's used for it's colour. in cooking I mean, because I can't imagine it has any taste unless it's a mushroom type flavour
Rick Stein said a cinnamon flavour. Some of my reading says it has to be roasted to release the aroma and taste.
