Dog lichen

Peltigera canina

A species of Dog lichen, Also known as Felt pelt lichen

Dog lichen is a leafy lichen in appearance when growing in small patches. The fungus thrives in sandy and grassy soil, and the round lobes become papery-thin when dry. When the soil is moist, the lobes turn full and soft. The fruiting bodies resemble the teeth of a canine, giving this lichen the name "dog lichen."
