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!

I wouldn't have a clue about the species Mike, but I can tell it was taken in less than ideal light. Does the color there represent the color of the lichen? I say that, because I can sense a copper sulphate green/blue but the overall light has that tinge too, so I am less sure of the accurate color with which to research perhaps on line. Your work always gets us talking!

Growing on the ground and with those spots, it is certainly not a Physia. Big, pale green when dry, dark green when wet, it is either Peltigera apthosa or Peltigera elizabethae
