Script lichens are named for their strange, sometimes branching lirellae, a type of apothecia (spore-bearing structure) that sometimes looks like letters, or at least, alien letters. This one is likely Graphis scripta, though I’d have to look under a scope to be sure. They usually grow on tree bark, as seen here.

The Common Script Lichen (Graphis scripta) is one of my favourites to see in the field ٩( ᐛ )و

Script lichen/secret writing lichen (Graphis scripta) is a fun little lichen, its apothecia creates a pattern that looks like scribbles. Gåseborg, Sweden.
