Lichen @mander.xyz felsiq @lemmy.zip 2mo ago Anybody know what this is? ALT I see this everywhere on the Canadian Shield in Ontario, for context
When purchasing my previous home, I asked the inspector about a suspicious goopy substance on a window."Goop," he labeled it, then advised me not to worry about it.He was right; it was gone by the time we closed on the house and, as far as I could tell, never returned.So anyway, are you that inspector? It would be nice to give him credit.
Tried using Seek by iNaturalist but it couldn't get any more specific than the rock shield lichens genus:
Looks to be in the family Parmeliaceae, which is pretty large. I'm really just beginning to learn how to ID but I might start at a genus like Xanthoparmelia or similar.
Lichen.
