Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.
About
Myriotrema endoflavescens is a rare species of lichen-forming fungus in the family Graphidaceae. The species was originally discovered by American lichenologist Mason Hale in 1975, but was not formally described until 2011 when Robert Lücking published Hale's work. It forms a light yellow-olive crust on tree bark with small, rounded fruiting bodies embedded in the surface, and is distinguished by its unusual pale-yellow inner tissue. The lichen is known only from a single location in Panama's primary rainforest at about 800 meters elevation.
