Photo of about a dozen Cladonia lichen podetia that look like golf tees. In the middle of the Cladonia lichens is a little yellow-brown mushroom.
Cladonia and Lichenomphalia (the mushroom)…both are lichens. Northwest Territories, Canada. #lichen #mushroom #fungi #fungifriends The grey lichens are about 2cm high. The mushroom is about 3cm high.
A fine bunch of lichen growing on a branch. The central bunch is Evernia prunastri (oakmoss) - very fresh after rain/sleet/snow!
Close view of the whole rock (embedded into dark brown soil among a few twigs and leaves) that, as well as the patch of lichen, also has a shadow cast by a baby pine tree growing at its side. The lichen is pale green in colour and the rock is flat and squareish overall
Close up view of the lichen which is a) visibly wet - but still pale green - due to seepage from water coming across the rock from the ground higher up the bank and b) covered in possibly scores of very tiny brown mushroom-shaped ‘apothecia’
View of about half of the rock showing the tiny apothecia scattered across most of the area where there is a thin layer of pale green lichen (a small patch of the rock is still bare). Some soil is visible to the bottom of the photo.
A lichen find on a wet rock (due to ground water seepage) beside a forest track today, Baeomyces rufus I think, with many tiny mushroom-shaped ‘apothecia’ scattered across #lichen
A couple of cup like podetia with granular surface and grey green colour between brown and twisted moss.
Tiny Cladonia #lichen (somethingsomething chlorphaea agg.?) in between dry moss.
Dense mats squamules of a Cladonia lichen. A podetium with brown apothecium can be seen approximately in the middle of the picture.
Wayside embankment with a line of broken ground covered in green lichen mats.
Cladonia caespiticia #lichen - covering large patches on a sandy wayside embankment. Tiny squamules forming mats on the soil. The decorticate podetia are short and do not rise (much) above the squamules. In this (dry) lichen they stay sunken a bit.
Ugh!! Finally bothered to finish this lichen piece I started last summer. I had put it in a random cabinet and nearly forgot it existed. Now to attach it to the giant rock.
Fourth photo is the back.

Bright orange splash of Xanthoria calcicola #lichen on stone. As often happens, it is Lichen & Co: a few other lichens are around too, most visibly Protoparmeliopsis muralis and Physcia caesia
Lichen is a hybrid colonial organism, a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and cyanobacteria with a variety of interesting morphologies, examples of fruticose and foliose growth forms on the shady side of our back fence. #Sony A7S and #Samyang 35mm at f/4. #backyardphotography #lichen
Short cups of a cladonia lichen covered in soredia and with jagged edges in between moss and plant debris.
Shot cups of Cladonia humilis #lichen (I think) hiding amongst moss.

"This is the sort of thing that, if I was having a bad day, I'd go back to and remember again how many cool things there are in this world. Life is really hard, but there are some utter joys. A creature that looks like lichen.. something else."

Contorted subulate podetia of a cladoina lichen covered in squamuels and granules.
Bizarrely formed podetia of Cladonia #lichen (I think C. rei, UV+ white) on a slope made of a mix of lignum and mineral soil in a disused gravel pit.
This is about 5 centimeters wide of a fallen stick in the grass. The center is covered in a white rim-disc lichen with disc shaped growths that have sort of light yellow-orange centers, kind of like creamsicle color. There’s a dead, brown leaf in the left of the stick, and a combination of deep green liverworts and mosses growing from the right and top sides of the stick. Tiny dew drops hang from the tips of the grass blades in the lower left corner.
Happy #HotStickSaturday! Here’s a lovely stick that fell out of a tree during a storm: #Lichen #Moss #Liverwort #Fungi #FungiFriends #ISeeMoss #PNW #Macro #Photography #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

Continuing my exploration of lichen on ancient stones. This time at Knowlton Henge in Dorset. A Henge built between 2600BC and 2200BC, with a 12th century church built in the middle. It has a particularly rich lichen flora. #lichen #englishheritage @englishheritage.bsky.social
Photo of crustose orange lichens growing on mostly white quartz rock. The photo shows several of these lichens of varying sizes. All are made of narrow, branching lobes radiating out from a centre. The middle portions of the lichens are dotted with tiny orange discs(apothecia)

The macro photograph shows a gray-green lichen that looks like crumpled, irregular pieces growing on dead wood. Green moss also grows around it and blends in with the lichen. Rising up from the low vegetation are much taller reproductive parts of the lichen; there are four of them, and they look like long tubes with a widened section at the top. They are the same gray-green color. The background behind the photographed wood in the upper third of the photo is blurred and indistinct.
I photographed Cladonia fimbrinata or another similar Cladonia species in the area of a dried-up stream in a floodplain forest.
While browsing the iNaturalist database, I’m surprised by how many Cladonia lichen species I’ve already photographed and how […]

A thick growth of pale green lichen on the joint of a tree branch. It’s a mass of ruffled fronds of various sizes.
Was walking through the woods and encountered this beautiful little #lichen If we’ve identified it right it’s Parmotrema crinitum aka salted ruffle lichen.
