Physcia adscendens lichen

Physcia adscendens lichen
This is one of the Lichens that was found on a day trip N of Calgary, to the JJ Collett Natural Area, on 6 October 2013. A group of people met at JJ Collett to walk some of the well-groomed trails in search mainly for liverworts, mosses and lichens. Thanks to Janet Marsh for the ID. There are about 20,000 known species of lichen in the world.
