Everyday lichens

Under the firs, where the moss thins out over rocks, lichens take over. These two were sharing a small pile of stones.

Pixie cup Cladonia. A few have red fruiting bodies on the rim of the cup.

One of the reindeer lichens. I increased the contrast, to make it stand out from the bright mosses and pixie cups around it.

Zooming in to show the red fruiting bodies on the tips of the branches.

  1. I need to get out and photograph more of the moss and lichen on our cliff. I was up there working on my compost pile and was amazed how many kinds were in a very small space. - Margy

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
