| | | Omphalina? I came across these today, about an inch high, growing among moss and Cladonia on an upland rocky outcrop. Until I saw Ron's thread I thought they were fungi - any chance they are an Lichenomphalia species?
Unfortunately no sign of any squamules. |

| | | Re: Omphalina? Hello,
yes, very probably it is the lichen Lichenomphalia umbellifera (= Omphalina ericetorum).
btw, lichens are fungi too, just with additional algae ....
best regards,
Andreas

| | | Re: Omphalina? Thanks Andreas - its the effect of that additional algae that's got me so fascinated! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
