Florida Caverns State Park is a state park of Florida in the United States, part of the Florida State Parks system. It is located in the Florida Panhandle near Marianna. It is the only Florida state park with air-filled caves accessible to the public.
The limestone caves in the park have stalagmites, stalactites, and flowstones formed by the erosion of bedrock. Other formations are above ground, including rivers and springs.
Florida Caverns State Park and the neighboring golf course were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of the New Deal. The park opened in 1942.
The park is notable for its geological features, a protected area of karst topography. This geology hosts an ecosystem with plants and animals that are adapted to the limestone substrates. The caves and waterways have blind crayfish, bats, salamanders, and other species. Native Americans inhabited the area, and it is a site of archaeological interest.
The park allows nature study, exploring, and sightseeing. The 9-hole golf course is open. Other activities and amenities in the park include camping, hiking, boating, horseback riding, and fishing. There is a visitor center with interpretive exhibits and concessions. Rangers conduct several tours daily.

Came across a LOAD of these growing on substrate, various stages, and sizes. Can't trace them in any of the fungi books. Any ideas?
UPDATE, thanks to Mike Taylor for suggestion on ID, but pretty sure Ash Watson is correct with REDLEAD ROUNDHEAD.
Substrate: Watercolour paper 180gsm
Light sensitive anthotype dye: Grated beeroot juice
Application: dabbing with grated beetroot ball in a synthetic cloth
Opaque layer: conifer, beetroot leaf, fishbone fern frond, eukalyptus leaves
Exposure time: 7 days intermittent sunlight (two full day of sunlight)
Contrast was low so I had to work on this in photoshop.
Substrate: Phellinus tremulae, Populus tremula.
Eesti punase nimestiku liik, ohualdis (VU). LK III.
Uljaste, Ida-Virumaa.

Out today (4/17) looked at some blacktop and found (more typical looking, infertile) P. caesia, so obviously its common on that substrate around here - another example of seeing something once its "on the radar". Initial remarks below example of my mental process.

more photos (seems rarely fertile) - www.waysofenlichenment.net/lichens/Physcia%20caesia
substrates include "asphalt pavements" - Smith, C.W., Aptroot, A., Coppins, B.J., Fletcher, A., Gilbert, O.L., James, P.W. and Wolseley, P.A. (2009) The Lichens of Great Britain and Ireland
"Many records of Physcia phaea have turned out to be either the saxicolous P. alnophila or fertile P. caesia..." -
Soili Stenroos et al. (editors) 2016 Lichens of Finland
initial remarks:
looks like Physcia phaea - seems like an odd place to find it
or maculate P. tenella without cilia possibly?
or P. caesia - laminal soralia? - will post another photo
pro - on rock (although bituminous), upper cortex strongly maculate, lack of cilia, lack of soralia (although see note on image) numerous apothecia some crenulate
con - unusual in city, unusually ? pale, usually tighter and more symmetric

Rhododendron vaseyi is a species of flowering plant in the heath family known by the common name pinkshell azalea.It is endemic to North Carolina in the United States, where it is known only from the southern Appalachians in and near Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
This deciduous shrub may grow up to 5 meters (almost 17 feet) in height. The large flowers are pink and begin to bloom in April. This species was first collected in 1878 by G. R. Vasey, son of botanist George Vasey and named in honor of both father and son.
In the wild, this species grows in acidic moist and wet substrates near bogs and streams. It may occur alongside other types of Rhododendron, such as Rhododendron maximum.
Threats to this plant in the wild include destruction of habitat as land is converted to residential use, and poaching.
