John Dirks Jr Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 It's called "British Soldier" lichen. It's also been nicknamed "Matchstick Moss". Interesting. I revisit this in my daily travels. It's been there for years and through all kinds of weather. Pretty hardy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
