I saw some beautiful lichens at Wilson Mountain today. If I try to identify all of them, this post will never happen (I am fairly confident identifying a few to genus, and I do make one guess down to species). Here are the pictures.

Several species - the pixie cups pictured here remind me of the mahna mahna muppets

I wonder if this might be Cladonia squamosa.
