Thamnolia sp.
I find patches of these scattered around the mountain ridges. They are bleach white with little nodules on them.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments and the nomination!
Way to go Machi. Beautiful close ups. Congratulations on the nomination.
How bizarre. Such a cool spotting, Machi. Congrats on your nomination.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Wonderful spotting Machi. Thanks for posting it here.
Great series Machi. Fungus/Lichen seems to be a never ending new field for me. Thanks for sharing.
