A hiking trail goes through trees and shrubs. One large tree has a lot of lace lichen hanging from it...long light green strands of lichen that looks like Spanish moss. Along the trail there is also poison oak, berry vines and other assorted vegetation.
Today is #ForestFriday! I'm looking forward to seeing all the beautiful forest photos!
Here's an a tree laden with #LaceLichen which is very common on the trees here in the Central Coast of California.

A screen capture that tells you about lace lichen which is a combination of fungi and algae and that it's the "State Symbol" of California. The strands can grow up to 3 feet long.
We have a very similar "beard" hanging from our trees here in Central Coast California. I thought it was Spanish moss, but after researching, I learned it's actually lichen. Around here it's called lace lichen. #Lichen #LaceLichen #Algae #Fungi
Small “rope” of lace lichen, looks like gray/green tangled hair

For #LichenFriday we have the California State Lichen. It’s really hard to photograph #LaceLichen #LazyLichen #fungifriends #sporepunk #lichen
Tonight I am wearing Lace Lichen from BPAL and it is so pretty. It is soft and delicate (like lace, I guess?!) and there's something about it that reminds me of Oil of Olay from the 90s. I wonder what it is that makes it smell that way.
