@schneidried Old - S.magellanicum

Open cliff, close to an old limestone quarry.

on conglomerate bedrock. 20-858

note: acute apices, sinus sharply acute but open

ID from bugguide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/132828

and yes like the other post recently with fruiting bodies, which is rare

Found on tree trunk and collected, keys readily to this common western species in the lovely Jones, Whitworth and Marshall key.
