Peltigera sp
This is a many layered fungus or many fungi growing in layers. The coloration was a dark grayish green. The largest was about 26 cm across.
These fungi were found on a tree that would receive morning sun and was located on the edge of the Amazon rainforest in SE Ecuador at an elevation of 3,420 ft.
I'm new to fungi but this is the first one I've see that wasn't some shade of white or red.
Wow Machi. I don't know how I missed this. Just browsing my spottings and see this ID suggestion from long ago. Thanks much. It looks right. Unfortunately there are so many species, I may never know, but thanks for taking it this far.
