Hypogymnia sp.

This was a good case of not seeing the whole picture.

I was on the lookout for Hypogymnia physodes since we only had found H. tubolosa on the excursion so far when I encountered this hypogymnia growing on a fallen oak. Quickly scanning for soralia I found lip shaped soralia  leading my thoughts to H. physodes.

On second look those soralia belong to a Hypotrachyna afroveoluta/revoluta growing next and into to the Hypogymnia in question. The Hypogymnia had no features that allowed me to further identify it.
