British Soldiers Lichen

Thanks, makes sense because the area is littered with revolutionary war structures and artifacts. Its definitely my favorite plant in the area and I believe that this plant has a part in the Bull Hill Native American myth so I think of it as the 'Remains of the Bull'.

There are two types of lichen here. The red-capped lichen is indeed British Soldiers Lichen (Cladonia cristatella) as RiekoS suggests. The gray-green-white lichen is probably Star-tipped Reindeer Lichen (Cladina stellaris). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladonia_st... for more information on that lichen.

This is what I have.
