    Hi -- Can you help identify this moss or lichen? I found a number of specimens on hardwood trees in Dalton in northern New Hampshire. Thanks!!

    Answer

    Daltonfarm, I believe you have photographed a liverwort species in the genus Frullania. It is a relatively large genus, at least some of which grown on the bark of trees. Best wishes.
