    Found this lichen growing on my property - southern Taconic range in NE Dutchess Cty. Can you help me identify it?

    Answer

    Dear dsternberg, it looks like a species of Umbilicaria (rock tripe), though I am not a lichenologist. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild tracheophyes (i.e, vascular plants) of New England. However, we do try to answer all questions that are posted here. Best wishes.
