A displaced colony of epiphytes that fell from a tree is pictured against the grey vinyl seat of a vehicle. The chunk is composed of braided-looking maroon-olive liverworts, some minty grey lichen, and a few tiny tufts of moss that are being throttled by the liverworts.

A pleasing chunk of liverworts and lichens and a few tufts of moss that fell out of an English walnut tree at work. I had no idea it was damp enough in the canopy esp with our dry summers for liverworts to thrive like this! Chunk is as big as my hand.
