    Beautiful shot, I was searching for your species suggestion and then came across Lisa's post right here at JD, which looks quite similar:

    Physcia pumilior - Rosette Lichen Foliose, pale gray-green lichenized fungus with flat, black apothecia (with gray-green collars). Apothecia are disc-like structures which contain spores. Physcia species are within the family Physciaceae and are considered lichen-forming fungi. Lichens are composite organisms comprised of a fungus being inhabited by algae or cyanobacteria.<br /> <br /> Habitat:<br /> On a hardwood branch at the top of a ridge in a dense mixed hardwood/coniferous forest in Northwest Georgia (Gordon County), US<br /> <br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/56327/physcia_sp.html Fall,Geotagged,Physcia pumilior,United States,ascomycota,foliose lichen,fungi,fungus,lecanoromycetes,lichen,lichens,mushroom,mushrooms,physcia,physciaceae,rosette lichen,teloschistales
