Pyrrhospora quernea
The world is really something right now. I know it is weighing heavily on a lot of us, and so please take this moment to just enjoy one of nature's most pure and wholesome lil guys, P. quernea. This crustose lichen has a thick, leprose, granular-sorediate thallus that ranges in color from straw to fawn to sulfur yellow. The margins are often delimited by a black prothallus. It is often sterile, but when fertile, produces red to brown-black apothecia. P. quernea grows on bark and wood in exposed sites in warm-humid and costal regions of the northern hemisphere.
