  1. Kids,
    This is a LICHEN, in the genus Peltigera. The white things you see on its underside are hairs that hold it to the moss it lives on top of.

  2. Dear Greg,
    Thank you for the answer. We have a question for you. Why do you think that lichen grows near Glen's Ditch--does it just grow near water?
