Caloplaca verruculifera
The habitat and appearance point to Caloplaca verruculifera, but apothecia are rarely present in C. verruculifera, and when they are they are usually isidiate toward the thallus center
Found on a large boulder at the beach. Most of the time the base of the boulder in underwater (the part with the lichens doesn't get submerged though), so these are exposed to a lot of salt.

66 Survivor, this is a lichen. Please read the description I added to the spotting
I believe that is some sort of moss like fungus I have seen it before in Idaho
