Funny you should ask, just saw some in Big basin last weekend and was
amazed, something wasn't familiar with. If I am seeing the pic correctly, it
is flat rather than round like the Usnea, right?
I'll ask my fellow docent, Karen, who is ahead of me on the Lichens and when
I get a response, I'll let you know!
Actually I decided to see what I could find.
Check out

and see which of these are your Lichen, since I can't get as good of a pic
as I wished I had (and that these were even better, but they are better than
most)
