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. What IS a lichen? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen www.sharnoffphotos.com/lichens/lichens_home_index.html
