    I don't know anything about lichens, but I do see a similarity in shape with this lichen:

      Apologize for the delay in responding. Another power outage! Yes, there are similarities in anatomy in the two species but I am a little concerned about the colour difference. There are some orange ones in the same area Have to go back and check... when this downpour stops. Posted 6 years ago
