Dictyonema applanatum
Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.
About
Dictyonema applanatum is a little‑known, blue‑green basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Formally described as a new species in 2013, it was discovered in the cloud forests of northern Bolivia. The species carpets bark and dangling vines with a thin, felt‑like layer of microscopic threads (hyphae) that weave together the fungus and its cyanobacterial partner.
