Peltigera hymenina - A lichen - Peltigera hymenina (Older synonym: Peltigera lactucifolia) <p>This lichen was growing on a moss-covered rock, in open grassland, a fairly typical habitat for this species. The conspicuous reddish-brown discs at the tips of its lobes are the apothecia (spore-producing structures); these discs are taller than they are wide, a feature that helps identify the species. </p> <p>P. hymenina and the similar P. membranacea are "among the commonest large foliose [i.e. leafy] lichens likely to be found in grass in open damp meadows or by roadsides" [Frank S. Dobson, "Lichens: An Illustrated Guide to the British and Irish Species", 5th ed., 2000]. </p> Compare: <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_lichen_-_Peltigera_membranacea_-_geograph.org.uk_-_961132.jpg" title="File:A lichen - Peltigera membranacea - geograph.org.uk - 961132.jpg">961132</a>. © Lairich Rig - CC BY-SA 2.0 - Wikimedia Commons
