Peltigera collina |
Family: Peltigeraceae |
Showing white root like growths underneath and reddish-brown fruiting structures.
Thanks to Alan Silverside for putting me right on this one. (As I thought it was P. canina).
"The margins of the older thallus lobes can be seen to be breaking up into soredia (granules that are dispersed as a form of asexual reproduction). This makes this Peltigera collina. The evidently scabrose upper surface also fits." |
