Graphis scripta
A large patch of the lichen. A crustose lichen with a cream colored thallus. The raised fruiting bodies are slender and elongated which resemble scribbles on the bark.
Spotted on an Alder tree along the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. Cascade foothills. Not far from the Snoqualmie River.

Thank you Mark and Neil. Neil - I don't find script lichen that often here in Washington, but when I do it always varies in appearance.
I agree with Mark. Incredible shapes and varieties.
Never ceases to amaze with the shapes they create.
