Lichen 1173.27

On granitic rock. From Routt National Forest, Rocky Mountains, Colorado.

LIchen 1175.31
It's not certain that this image goes with the photo number. The number puts it on rock from the Colorado Rockies, but it's possible the photo shows a different lichen on Populus bark in the Kenai Peninsula, AK, and one of the two photos is missing. Our notes had it as identified as a species of Biatora by Hertel, however Printzen said "either B. vernalis or Mycobilimbia carneoalbida (if it has 3-celled spores)." but later (?) it's "not a Biatora". I.M. Brodo looked at the specimen (almost certainly the one that goes with number 1175.31) in 2020, and said, "Lecidea" berengeriana or Bryolbilimbia sanguineoatra" but it remains a puzzle.
