Gallowayella galericulata

Gallowayella galericulata is a species of corticolous and lignicolous (bark- and wood-dwelling) lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. This species has small, orange, foliose (leafy), loosely adnate thalli that form either compact colonies or spread extensively. The lobes of the thallus are typically curved inward, and often form a characteristic helmet- or hood-like shape. Found in dry regions of the western United States, it colonises bark and wood, particularly favouring dry twigs of various shrubs and trees....read more on Wikipedia.
