Polycauliona impolita
When I tell people that I study lichens and they respond "Oh, those little moss-looking things, right?" I want to show them pictures like these and be like "Does this look like moss to you?" But usually I am too nice and too excited to explain what a lichen is to do that. But not today! Does P. impolita look like moss to you? I think not! This crustose-placodioid lichen grows in rounded patches with an areolate (tile-like) central thallus and a marginal thallus of elongated lobes. The upper surface is yellow-orange to red-orange and often pruinose (covered in a fine powder), with orange, flat-disked apothecia clustering toward the center. P. impolita grows on non-calcareous rock in western North America.
