    Hi - collected some moss for my terrarium yesterday. Can not identify the moss/lichen shown which looks like lettuce (right bottom of photos).

    Is it a moss or lichen and what is the proper name?

    Thanks in advance,

    Pete in NC

    I'm pretty sure it's a lichen but not sure which one.
