David Grayless#Gallowayella galericulata is a species of #corticolous and #lignicolous (bark- and wood-dwelling) #lichen in the family #Teloschistaceae. This species has small, orange, #foliose (leafy), loosely adnate #thalli that form either compact #colonies or spread extensively. The #lobes of the thallus are typically curved inward, and often form a characteristic helmet- or hood-like shape. Found in dry regions of the western United States, it colonises bark and wood.
