I think this is farinose cartilage lichen -

per tom_carlberg on a different photo: "chains of powdery areas on the edges of the lobes/branches. Some people think of them as "pop beads", after a child's toy from ancient 1950s America."

I did not have my macro lens but I was able to look at it with a magnifying glass... I think I saw the "pop beads", but they were not abundant.
