Pelt Lichen - Peltigera sp.

It looked like someone had squirted a half dozen shots of Hersey Chocolate on the rock’s side. Brown oozed in waves down the side, curling at the bottom, and then orange balls grew from the rounded over ends. This plant was an outstanding example of a pelt lichen, one of the best I’d seen.
