Everyone walked right past this Peltigera. I think some rare lichens like Lobaria and Peltigera thrive so close to the trails because people leave them alone. Flowers are pretty so they get picked. Good to be dull sometimes. Sugadaira Kogen, Ueda, Nagano #Lichen#FungiFriends#地衣類

Close-up of the “nail” of the Peltigera lichen. It is orange and jagged, while the lobe on which it is located is dark green.
Colony of Peltigera lichen. The wide lobes are dark green, almost black. The “nails” or spore producing part on the edge of the lobes are green.
