Green Sea Turtle

The green sea turtle is one of the largest sea turtles. They are named for the green color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells.

Pycnora sorophora is a small, crustose lichen with a pale greenish-grey to yellowish thallus producing granular soredia as its primary reproductive structure. It inhabits the bark of old conifers and smooth-barked deciduous trees in humid temperate and boreal forests of Europe. This lichen is associated with stable, old-growth forest microhabitats.
