Tuckermanopsis sp & Rag Lichen

The brown lobes of this foliose lichen rose from the log and looked almost like they could wave. In the center of a larger clump of green rag lichens, a species of Tuckermanopsis lichen was present, with a few Usnea strands flicking up. I’d never seen this genus before and leaned in close. The apothecia and pycnidia are only found on the outer edge of the leaf lobes. If only I knew what they looked like.
