Lichen found growing on a palm tree at USF Tampa campus by a garage. The weather was sunny with no cloud coverage and around 30C. It was found at around 3:10 PM. The lichen is light green in color and looks to be a foliose species that was attached to the underside of the palm bark segments that stuck out. These areas were more shades and almost no lichen grew in the direct sunlight. Estimated to be a species of Physciaceae.
