WGWI west, lichens.
Trails right around wetlands.
Stereocaulon (on rock among moss)
Nephorma parile (on rock among moss)
Physconia muscigena (on moss on rock)

This appears to be by far the most abundant and noticable calicioid in the area.

(This was near the bent end of the larger piece.) Apparently this is not treated among the "calicioids" because it is "too deep" and thus not a member of the superficial crustose community. Curtis has seen it many times, but never found a spore, either. Or a name, for that matter.
