Peltigera polydactylon (Many-fruit Pelt Lichen)

This beautiful lichen looks completely different depending on whteher it is dry or wet. Please go to Lichen Portal and Wisconsin Mushrooms for more information.

When dry, the apothecia are odd little white tongue-like lobes.

 

Give them some water and voila!

 

 

The undersides of the lobes do not have the tufts seen on P. canina.
