Worm Lichen

Worm Lichen (Thamnolia subuliformis) is a new find for me. I'm sure I've seen it before, but I didn't get around to looking it up. According to Barrenland Beauties, the worms can break off, blow away and then start growing somewhere new. We were wondering if they were caribou moss - but I actually haven't seen it up here, at least not what my grandfather calls Caribou moss. There is lots in Ontario though.
