Rosette Lichens (Genus Physcia)Observer
benkendrickDescription
i just thought it seemed weird. seems like it has soralia. and it was also the only tree with a Physcia that I saw in the area. They usually like smaller branches, and I also find they usually like more disturbed or coastal areas, a trunk in a fairly undisturbed hardwood habitat triggers my spidey senses.
