Lichen

Pale blue, crustose lichen with light green edges. The tiny, white bumps are called "soredia". It was growing on a rock that was covered in lichens and moss in a mixed forest (oak, hemlock, birch, maple).

I did some general searching without finding a match. I did learn that this is likely a crustose lichen and that the little bumps are called "soredia" :) Posted 7 years ago

  Oh interesting, thanks! I'll update the spotting to include that info. I've had this lichen posted on Mushroom Observer and a lichen page on Facebook, but with no luck on an ID so far :( Posted 7 years ago

    Hoping the other tool I shared helps. It's awful to use, not visual at all, but it seems quite rich in data for such an "obscure" group of observations. Posted 7 years ago

      I think it will definitely be helpful. Just a bit time consuming, but definitely worthwhile. Posted 7 years ago
