A few lichens from the edge of Oyster Bay forest:
 |
| Coastal reindeer lichen on old, wet wood |
Look for the bright red spot near the pointer on the upper left; the tip of a lipstick
Cladonia; and near the bottom left, I think that scaly lichen is a Dragon
Cladonia.
"Roughly 70 species of Cladonia occur in our region, making this one of the most diverse of lichen genera." (Plants of Coastal British Columbia)
 |
| Spiky-branched lichen, a few pixie cup Cladonia, moss, and fir needles. |
 |
| More of those spiky lichens behind a mushroom |
 |
| And a whole mini-forest of lipsticks. |
Our cliff is covered in reindeer lichen. I love the contrast between white and the green of other mosses and lichens. - Margy
