Mosses and lichens making good use of the space on a twig. I love the different textures and shades of green.

This week I began a 10-week course in #lichen identification and, following the maxim that faint heart never won fair lady, I have begun by trying to identify one of the most notoriously difficult lichens, a Cladonia.
This on a Scots pine and has all the characteristics of Cladonia polydactyla. I have some chemical tests and a scaled image to complete but these are a good start (and check out the tiny springtail which was barely visible to the naked eye).

Came across Planet Moss in my neighborhood. Moss and lichen have completely taken over this concrete pillar, and it's a thing of beauty.

Lichens on a stick. The white/grey lichen is a Hypogymnia and the yellow lichen is, I think, a Xanthoria (sunburst) lichen. NWT, Canada. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends @jeffontherock.bsky.social‬ #globalmuseum #lichens #plants

While walking at Lake St Clair National Park, we saw masses of coral lichen just covering ground areas. Apparently, it thrives on ground where dead or dying buttongrass can be found.

We were disappointed to miss the buttongrass but thrilled to see so much lichen.
