POWDERED SUNSHINE

Vulpicida pinastri (Powdered Sunshine) is a showy forest species with pale to yellow leafy lobes, forming bright rosettes. The lobes are rounded, overlapping, with ruffled or divided margins, dissolving into fine powdery masses of greenish-yellow or bright lemon-yellow powdery propagules. Help this sunny lichen get around by gently running your finger over it and then touching nearby trees and logs, transferring the yellow powder that is little packages of lichens-to-be to a new niche.
