The algal film over the soil surface is the photosynthesizing partner in this lichen. The tops of the mushroom-like fruit bodies have become a little bleached with age and there has been some drying out - given the slight wrinkling near the cap margin.

Wow, thank you! I did not imagine that they were yellow before. It is very interesting to know about the partnership.
