Photo of a wrinkled and frilly grey lichen. The top is matt, slightly downy. The underside is covered in white fang-like rhizimes that attach it to the surface it’s growing on. They have tiny bristles on the tips. The lichen is growing on bright green moss which protrudes between the gaps in the frills. There is also ivy twining along the bank.

Not the best photo but spotted some common dog lichen growing on a mossy bank. Once thought to be a cure for rabies because of the ‘fangs’.
