Maybe a Trentepohlia? It seemed very coarse - stiff compared to other more hairlike Trentepohlia(s) found in the area. Found during dry weather on rocks in muskeg at around 1,000 ft elevation. It was peeling off the rock with a skin like membrane where it contacted the rock.
Another interesting, seemingly contradictory to the Trentepohlia idea, is the fact that this is growing on the SSE face of an exposed boulder which would experience considerable sunny drying conditions. The Trentepohlias in this area usually seem restricted to dark shady north facing habitats it seems?
