Parmelia sulcata
A blue-grey to silvery foliose lichen, becoming bronze-tinged as it ages. The lobes have conspicuous white pseudocyphellae which form a fine network. Thallus 4 to 20cm in diameter.
Found on the branches and trunks of trees, only occasionally on rocks. Widespread and common.

I am familiar with this lichen. I see it at the lake in N. Idaho. I like its papery feel. Awesome photos, Pete! 😃
