A Reindeer Lichen at the Sharptown Dunes, Wicomico County, Maryland (4/19/2010). Notes from Lance Biechele: "Determined by the late OMLA (Ohio Moss & Liverwort Assoc.) member, Don Flenniken - he will be greatly missed. While many of these clump lichens are referred to as 'reindeer lichens,' this is the only one awarded that specific title in Brodo's book." Photo by Lance Biechele. (MBP list)
