I’ve included some blurry photos along with the good ones, not sure which might be useful for the iD.
Please let me know which photos I should delete.
I was under the impression I was taking pictures of elf orphine and it was brought to my attention that this one is actually Puck’s Orphine. Quite the surprise! I was already excited about the elf and now puck? Cool!

Blackthread Lichen (Placynthium nigrum)Observer
mjpapayDescription
- on siliceous metamorphic bedrock in the channel of Deep River; regularly inundated by high water
- black apothecia with prominant thalline rim
[EDIT, 11 August 2023: After finding on Rocky River an example of Placynthium nigrum with only its black prothallus yet with numerous black-rimmed black-disced apothecia, yet lower down with the muddy-green thallus atop the prothallus, did I eventually realize that all my Vahliella hookerioides observations were in fact Placynthium nigrum!]
This is the only species of Vahliella with a black apothecium.
This specimen is rather desiccated. In hydrated condition the thallus is of olive-green hue. Hydrated example at same location, same day: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/166448585

Assuming it’s a lichen. Notice the light sky blue spots surround by solid black which seem to be surrounded by tiny white specks. Photo taken with a 15x smartphone macro lens zoomed in tight.
This is one of the dark discolorations on a concrete overpass. Stilesboro road over Alatoona Creek. So tiny that I could not see anything but the discoloration splotch and took a photo anyway. Very surprised to see the blue and details once home. I will return with measuring device. Hopefully better photos as well.
@mhodges1957 I haven’t a clue on this one. Can you point me in a direction?

Found this while hiking in Fort Mountain State Park in Georgia. The app suggested pixie cup lichen. I would greatly appreciate more input.
