found loose, in leaf litter, attached to a liverwort (Porella sp.).
this one could be either Lobaria linita or Lobaria pulmonaria. while Lobaria pulmonaria is probably more common in this locality, I couldn't find any soredia or isidia on the thallus at all, which hints at L. linita. ig i need chemistry to be sure
