Hi Christine, it looks like Chlorencoelia versiformis (Pers.) J.R. Dixon to me?

  It looks like several of the Chlorencoelia species if you look in the MO gallery. From what I'm reading, I think microscopy or chemical testing might be needed to get any further than genus level. Posted 6 years ago

        Thanks Jivko and Lisa for your detective work! I didn't realize microscopy was needed. So, I'll just leave it at genus level! Posted 6 years ago
