Oak tree covered with droopy drippy lace lichen. The official California State Lichen. Not Spanish Moss. Took me 40 years to learn that.
Generic medium brown mushroom, probably a species of fieldcap. Two tops and one underside.
#LichenFriday and friends. Natalie found the mushrooms!
3 photos of tiny horn shaped lichen on a leafy lichen wall of dirt. Green on green.

Lace lichen is netlike and hairlike or maybe hairnet like. It hangs from trees in clumps
The first 2 photos are little wisps of lace lichen on top of other foliage
This is a tree branch dripping with lace lichen. People confuse it with Spanish Moss.which doesn’t grow here. Again, green on green so it can get lost in the foreground.
You're a loop of lazy lichen
Just a loop of lazy lichen
Must admit you're kind of frightening
But you really get me high

Four photos of lichen of many species growing on sticks. This one is mostly leafy. I don’t try to ID lichen much.
At least four species of lichen on a stick that is on a white rug. Which almost looks like slime mold.
Green dot lichen and two kinds of leafy lichen and maybe a spot of black fungus on a stick. Same white rug in the background
Green dot lichen in front of leafy lichen on a stick. They might all be on the same stick. I don’t remember or take very good notes.
Is it #LichenFriday or is it #HotStickSaturday?
Yes.

Small “rope” of lace lichen, looks like gray/green tangled hair
A larger fall of lace lichen. Greenish grayish dangling masses hanging from the trees. Often mistaken for “Spanish moss”
For #LichenFriday we have the California State Lichen. It’s really hard to photograph #LaceLichen #LazyLichen #fungifriends #sporepunk #lichen
Green and gray lichen circles on what is possibly a headstone.
Tangled mess of green lace lichen, the State Lichen of California. Often mistaken for Spanish Moss because it dangles from branches.
GoldenEye, round flat orange discs with yellow fringe like eyelashes
It’s green. It’s fuzzy looking. It’s on wood. Might be algae being colonized by the fungus that turns it into lichen.
Four at random for #LichenFriday 🍄📷
Sunburst lichen with orange circled
Pink lobe lichen with small pink “flowers”. Lichen lobes are like big leaves but aren’t plants.
Lichen is light green, moss is bright green, fungus is brownish, living together on a stick
More orange dots because I love them.
