    Actually, I think it's a fungus. Try comparing to Trametes or Cora sp. Posted 3 years ago

      Ugh, you're right, should have known that:

      Cora Coca, Tatama National Park, Colombia This species of fungi has been recently described in a paper by Dr. Luis Fernando Coca, one of Colombia's top fungi specialists. Cora, this species' genus, is remarkable, according to Luis:<br /> <br /> "something amazing about Cora is that traditionally was just one species and from 2014 Cora has 120 different species, and probably 400"<br /> <br /> The species itself in this case was directly growing on rock, possibly making it (part of) a lichen:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/55055/dictyonema_coca_or_cora_coca_growing_on_rock_tatama_national_park_colombia.html<br /> I fail to understand how lichens work exactly, but this article may provide some background:<br /> https://phys.org/news/2014-07-south-american-lichen-species-fungi.html<br /> <br /> Cerro Montezuma,Choco,Chocó,Colombia,Colombia Choco & Pacific region,Dictyonema coca,Fall,Geotagged,Montezuma,South America,Tatama National Park,Tatamá National Park,World
