Thickets of Cladonia #lichen (C. rangiferina or perhaps C. portentosa)
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 […]

foliose lichen of a kind I'd never seen in the US, from around Blomheller station near Flåm, Norway.

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.
Small cup like podetia covered in fine soredia arising from a dense layer of squamules. The background is out of focus shows some brigtly sunlit moss. The foreground is wood.
Cladonia #lichen on a tree stump (in central Hessia). The simple and farinose podetia with defined cups make me think of C. fimbriata.
Bluish green lichen trumpets, three in a row, in between green moss. There is a fourth, larger lichen trumpet in the background.
Little lichen trumpets.

A close up of lichen
A colony of different lichens including one of the pixie cups, a peggish lichen with brown apothecium, and powderhorn.
One of those cup lichens topped with bright red apothecia in a bed of reindeer lichen.

Several cladonia species growing in the same space in pine woods.
Some or all of these are likely easy enough to ID but motivation for thinking is highly non-existent at this time. #FungiFriends #lichen

Bright green lichen growing on the weathered, scarred horizontal pad of my Opuntia.
One of my attempts for #52frames_whatisit.
In the end, I felt it was too obvious - but since I spent so much time photographing this small section of a fence post, I decided to share it!

With a backdrop of the ground covered in brown leaves is a stick adorned with a very pale green leafy- looking lichen.
Lying on a bed of brown pine needles is a stick covered with lichens. Some of the lichen reminds me of a delicate coral growth, with many fine “fingers” spreading out from central spines.
It’s important to find beauty on my morning walks with DixieDog. We had a damp morning in Maine today. #lichen

Photo of a lichen with a powdery green body growing over soil (soil not visible under lichen). From the green surface grow several dozen thin greenish stalks with tiny pom pom tops. The photo background is blue sky.

Continuing to photograph trees through a macro lens because I can do what I want.
