Evident by the overgrown and distorted apothecia of its host, Ramalina americana, itself growing on the branch of a Sugar Maple, Acer saccharum.

Same one recorded by Jeff White

at risk of confusing the AI, (LOL) which correctly guessed the Elf Ear is growing on Blue Felts (known location) on a red maple.

On one of its hosts, Ramalina americana.

sorry for poor photo, was aiming for the ramalina at the time
