Lichen Id help?
Abundance of apothecia. Located on a granite bolder in Skagway Alaska on the coast. Would suspect foliose type because of the small lobs extending from the collection of apothecia.
Thought it could be a black eyed rosette lichen (Physcia phaea) but I am not sure.
Still pretty new to lichens and would appreciate any help.
Once I have an idea I'll post it on iNaturalist.

I’ve never seen this before.
Maybe I just haven’t been looking close enough!

lichen ID?
got this plant pack as a gift and it came with what i thought was pretty fake moss. after finding how soft it was to the touch i did some research and learned it’s a cool lichen fungus plant!!
it looks like Parmeliaceae Letharia vulpina but im not confident in my guess. it has to be Parmeliaceae, right?
i’d appreciate an ID and/or care tips. i have a closed terrarium bowl i can definitely keep it in but i was thinking of putting it on my emersed aquarium driftwood. i have another post on my account under this one with aquarium specifics; i still don’t know what this beautiful lichen is though!!!
i definitely want to keep it around. it’s super soft, there’s a very good amount and i love the bright color. thanks in advance!!!!!

usnea on a branch
I found a branch with a tussock of old man's beard on it on the ground and took it home and put it in my garden. can I get it to grow? I want to make it into fabric dye but I NEVER manage to find enough! I REALLY want to make lichen dyes that come out something other than the dirty brown I got from really basic lichen on a tree. :(

What lichens are these?
I went to the Patagonia (Argentina) the last year and find these lichens (the big ones in the front). I would like to know their names. Sorry for the photo, it was the only one I can take.

What Lichen is this?
Can someone tell me what lichen this is? (the crustose lichen with white thallus and red marks). It doesn't have an apothecia, just plain and flat.
