Field Notes

Description:

A lichen is a composite organism consisting of a fungus and a photosynthetic partner growing together in a symbiotic relationship. The photobiont is usually either a green alga or cyanobacterium. - from Wikipedia

Notes:

I think this is Parmotrema perlatum, but I am not sure. Or these could be multiple different Lichens.
