    Weird. I would assume some sort of ascomycete? I'll have to see if I can dig anything up... Posted 5 years ago

      I agree and was thinking maybe Biscogniauxia atropunctata. I'm going to suggest it on MO and hope I don't get an "As if" vote... Posted 5 years ago

        Well. It's definitely not Biscogniauxia atropunctata, haha. I already got a response on MO - it seems to be a lichen. Posted 5 years ago

              ascolichen - a lichen in which the fungus component is an ascomycete. Posted 5 years ago
