This is from a while back. Thallus appressed, forming perithecium(slightly raised apoethia , many rhizines( tenuous mycelium hair like holdfasts) hold the lobes directly to the substrates to which it expands. The color of which is a dried light green or greyish green or when wet a light blueish grey. The pigmented photobiont is standardized at a layer. A foliose lichen that is not jelly like, fan or umbellate, or yellow. Is wear I ended up keying this out, to truly ID this species I need to find it again, with a knife collect a specimen and mark its locality. Unfortunately, I failed to do this since this was taken years ago, I didn’t have a key, nor did I have proper knowledge of collecting sections of a specimen. From that point on I ended up just guessing and skipping the remaining key steps since they cover 300+ species. Here is my guess :/ Xanthoparmelia cumberlandia -- source link
