Field Notes
Description:
A foliose lichen with grey-green thallus and cup-like apothecia (reproductive structures). The insides of the cups were a dark chocolate brown. The cups were small ranging from .5 to about 2mm.
Habitat:
Was growing on a fallen branch of a silver birch tree.
Notes:
On the same branch were other lichen of different shapes and colour - will be posting these soon. i am not sure if they are related and hopefully will get some assistance with Identifying them.
The apothecia produce fungal spores.
