This looks like the lichen Cladonia deformis. There are very few green fungi like Russula aeruginea and Hypomyces luteovirens.
Could it also be Cladonia asahinae, the Pixie Cup Lichen?

I had never thought of it being a combination of a Fungi and an Alga. I shot this one on the same day and thought it was a cup fungus but it is probably a combination also. I found the color green curious for a fungus.
Curious but eye-catching and unique
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

iNaturalist puts C asahinae in the west coast but it is a good possibility. Certainly we are on the right track with CLADONIA.

You're right-I didn't check the range! Cladonia deformis is most likely the one-especially since range is upper Midwest/Canada

It's a wrinkled crust (Phlebia radiata). It's found not only in North America but also Great Britain, Ireland, and Europe.
Thank you very much. Amateurs around here appreciate it.
