Antennulariella lichenisata
Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.
About
Antennulariella lichenisata is a species of lichen in the family Antennulariellaceae. This inconspicuous lichen forms thin, pale pink to pinkish-grey films on tree bark and is easily overlooked due to its resemblance to non-lichenised sooty moulds. It represents a taxonomically significant discovery as the first formally described lichenised member of the order Capnodiales, a fungal group previously thought to be entirely non-lichenised. The species is known from scattered locations across western Britain and northern Ireland, where it grows on the dry, acidic bark of mature deciduous trees in humid woodland environments.
