We found it high in a tree.But not to high.

Notes:

When I was out side on Wednesday January 19th. It was very cold, out the wind speed was 20 miles per hour. We had 15cms of snow. But it snowed since then. We found this Lichen out in the woods. It think that its Phaeophyscia ciliata because, the one that I am trying to find has black holes in it, like this one does too. This one looks leafy. The one that I am trying to find is white. We found this is on on a skinny tree branch. The temp. was 0 degrees C.
