They appear to be Lichen fruiting bodies to me. Their growth habit on
rock indicates Lichen too, but I don't know what species they are. I'm
sure someone here will know though. I joined this to learn about
Lichens, but I know mushrooms and fungi pretty well, and those don't
look like any fungi or mushrooms that I'm familiar with.
