How do you manage to ID all of your lichen spottings, Brian? Lichen and fungi baffles me at the best of times. May I run this one by you? You may see something that I just can't. https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/32... The tree this is on is called coachwood, a species that thrives in rainforests, and I've not seen this lichen on any other species of tree.
