Any ID help would be greatly appreciated.
I found this lichen on a partially burned (but still living) maple tree on a busy city street in Portland. The lichen is only present on the burned portion, growing between the pieces of outer bark, and the only thing I can see are these tiny red isidia with whitish/cream tips.
I studied the isidia with a microscope (squished) so I can confirm there are green algal cells, hyphae and spores present. The spores are oval, septate with 2 spores on each side.
