Lichenomphalia chromacea, Belair NP

Lichenomphalia chromacea, Belair NP
NE of Lower Waterfall, SL, 13 Jun 2015
A common fungus, but I was interested to learn of its standing as a lichen. According to Wikipedia: 'Lichenomphalia is both a basidiolichen and an agaric genus. Most of the species have inconspicuous lichenized thalli that consist of scattered, small, loose, nearly microscopic green balls or foliose small flakes containing single-celled green algae in the genus Coccomyxa, all interconnected by a loose network of hyphae. The agaric fruit bodies themselves are nonlichenized and resemble other types of omphalinoid mushrooms."
