Boreal felt lichen  (Erioderma pedicellatum)

Known as the “panda bear” of lichens because of its extreme rarity, the boreal felt lichen is a ‘leafy' species that grows on the branches and trunks of tree (2) (3). When hydrated it has a bluish-grey colour, but when dry it is more dark grey to greyish-brown. The edges of this lichen typically curl up to expose whitish undersides (2).
