Fishbone Beard lichen, Usnea filipendula, a lichen that's the result of a symbiotic relationship between a fungus & algae Ochrolechia pallescens, the disk with light green exterior and a tan circular cap lichen holding tight to the bark. Freckled Tube Lichen, Hypogymnia krogiae, massive fruiting body structures, Apothecia, are associated with the leafy speckled lichen seen elsewhere along the twig.

#HotStick or maybe #HotTwig is more apt.

I spy at least 3 species of #Lichen including the massive fruiting bodies or #Apothecia of the leafy lichen, that looks like a Freckled Tube Lichen, Hypogymnia krogiae. #LikenLichen

#lichen This too, found on a rock by an ice cold river on a hot day. A mountain of lichen. Comes with a mountain of new words. #Lecanorine fleshy rim of its fruiting bodies that are similar to main body. #apothecia the fruiting bodies. I am guessing that this #crustose lichen is #Lecanora muralis
