WW: Frog pelt

(Most likely Peltigera neopolydactyla [which translates as "shield-shaped lichen with many sprouting fingers"], but the common name - frog pelt - is too delightful to pass up. Peltigera has a symbiotic relationship with several nitrogen-fixing bacteria, making it an important genus in the rainforest.)

Appearing also on My Corner of the World.
