Just to the lower right of the twenty-five cent piece can be seen the tips of the lichens. The colour in reality is near burnt sienna. These lichens are growing on the base of a large (1+ metre diameter) dead Yellow birch ('Betula alleghaniensis') that's being hollowed out by red ants.

If it is coarsely sorediate over the podetium (stem) and has brownish fruiting bodies (apothecia), then there's a remote chance that this may a first record of Cladonia ramulosa for NF. mac
