Parece que está chiquito todavía, basado en las fotos de su link...
Gracias Lauren. Este tuyo es una preciosidad y nunca lo he encontrado. Me da mucha envidia :)
Thank you so much arlanda. I am delighted to know what they are. You have wonderful lichen and fungi spottings!
By the way, the grey-greenish one is Usnea sp., hard to say which one
Beautiful lichen. I think it is Telochistes exilis, although it is very similar to T. flavicans. However, T. flavicans very rarely shows the apothecia, the yellow disks.
