Question
Hello Dear Botanist! I am wondering what plant I have here. It doesn't seem to be a Sphagnum Moss? to me? It was found in Salem Sound, Massachusetts. Thank you very much, SueLB
Answer
Dear SueLB, you've photographed a species of lichen. I'm not an expert in this group of organisms and feel more confident directing you elsewhere for an answer. Hopefully knowing it is a lichen will be helpful to you solving the identification mystery.
