Field Notes

Description:

A lot of pieces of it were broken off, but it has a distinctive coral look. Surrounded by a couple other lichen species. Another possibility is Siphula ceratites but I somewhat doubt it just because I find a lot of Sphaerophorus around here.

Habitat:

On a boulder near the ocean
