Trentepohlia sp.
Trentepohlia is a genus of filamentous green algae I found on limestones of the ancient Mayan pyramids.
Bonampak in the Lacandon Rainforest.
Thank you Arlanda for the ID. I think it is the same one as yours.Thank you Bernadette.
Nice spotting Luis!Maybe it is not a lichen. I found something similar and after months looking around I found out it was an algae, Trentepohlia sp. Have a look at my spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/181...
