Lichen - Scoliciosporum sp. or Micarea sp.

An unfortunately bad photo, but I was actually taking a picture of a nearby insect and only spotted this lichen during editing. According to an expert, it's probably either Scoliciosporum sp. or Micarea sp.. Neither of these 2 genera seem easy to ID or commonly documented, so I may not get a species-level ID.

Habitat: Growing on an old fence in a mesic, mixed forest

  Thanks. It was really small. I wish I had noticed it at the time! I'm going to inspect this fence in the spring, lol. Posted 5 months ago
