Description
going back to this latest archery season, as always, I have my camera with me. this is a large patch of lichen on the ground (maybe Andrea can help with identification)
the total size across was about 45cm. the colour is the cool part
Thanks to the help of Andrea, I can possibly identify this as Physoconia grisea. it matches the images pretty closely.
Thanks Andrea!

Wow, that's pretty cool - and pretty! Don't think I've ever seen a lichen that large 'leafed' in real life. :)
An excellent find, Mike! Fab capture!
this is cool, I didn't know lichen grew in patches so large.
A cool find Mike. Interesting capture.

darn good close up. Mike.
Mike, this is a really sensational photo. You are very smart to bring your camera long while hunting.
Cool capture dear Mike!
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
Your nature pictures are definitely something we can take a lichen to. You've got a great eye for this.
Wonderful pic. of this strange ground growth Mike. A really nice color on those large spores.
Different looking, nice shot.
Superb color, very nice capture!
Cool capture.
Great Photo Mike.
lichen,I know nothing about it!! can be pleasing to the eye such as this
It is a Foliose lichen, but to get an ID you to know if the stone is acid or basic. Google these three Physcia adscendens, Physoconia grisea, and Phaeophyscia orbicularis and see what you think!
Very cool plants Mike!
Great photo!
