An arched, lichen-covered twig in a tree. Most of the lichen is a bright yellow sunburst lichen, with its little alien-like disc shapes all up and down the twig. There is also a tuft of pale sea-green oakmoss or cartilage lichen at the top of the arch.

I have not forgotten that it’s #HotStickSaturday. Here’s a lively bit in a twig in the sun after a rain. #Lichen #LichenSubscribe #Fungi #FungiFriends #Trees #Macro #Nature #Photography #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepLooking

Pale green powder-horn type lichen encrusts a weathered wood fence beam. Some have a spot of bright red on the ends.

A diagonal view of more of the same lichen structure, but here it grows horizontally off the upright plank of the weathered fence.

Cladonia macilenta lichen, looking a bit past their prime, but some scarlet tips still hang on.

Small, creamy to brown mushrooms, with a grooved cap with a central depression (navel). They are the fruiting bodies of a lichen; the dark green coating on the wood (tiny globes) are the algal component. With small mosses and scattered Douglas-fir needles.

A thin twig of hawthorn, densely encrusted with a bright yellow-green lichen that is fruiting vigorously and is covered in little cup-shaped apothecia. A few small brightly red-pink coloured buds of the tree are poking through the layer of lichen.

Lichen cups and hawthorn buds. I don’t know what species the lichen is.

This spring crocus was so full of pollen you can see it trapped in the petals made semi-translucent on a bright background.

A section of cherry tree twig covered in different types of lichen and some dark green moss (on the bottom). On the upper right, there is some pale, sea-green oakmoss lichen. In the middle is the grayish-white outward-looking rosette lichen with its little black discs. Down to the left is some bright yellow sunburst lichen, along with some pale bluish green shield lichen.

Small bright green Polypodium glycyrrhiza fern leaves grow upside down in a bright olive green moss bed on a big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) branch. You can see a profusion of mossy and lichenous tree branches in the background. This was photographed from a foot bridge over a ravine, looking straight into the crowns of the trees growing in the ravine floor.

An array of green mosses and lichen in various shades of blue to blue-green cover an apple tree branch crotch. There are flat growing shield lichen, a few branching lichens, both sturdy looking and lacy, and prickly looking moss branches. It is a medley of textures. Apple trees seem to have the best lichens and mosses.

An undulating bed of moss and old sporophytes is seen on the top rail of a fence in our front yard. A couple of lichens can be seen in the moss, as dawn begins in the distance. Due to the low light and vapor in the air, indistinct utility poles, rooflines and foliage add to the colors and shapes in the picture. The colors are mostly green, on a strong diagonal in the lower half of the picture, and yellow, orange, gray and blue fill in the sky above the green.

A lumpy, 4-centimeter section of a maple tree trunk covered in a species of disc lichen with brownish centers and white rims. The discs are packed together tightly, so they kind of made me think of dragon scales for some weird reason. A bit of pale, bluish-green shield lichen is on the left edge, and a couple of small sprigs of tiny, pale sea green oakmoss lichen is on the far right.

For some reason, the #lichen on this late #ThickTrunkTuesday offering has me thinking about #dragon scales. #LichenSubscribe #Fungi #FungiFriends #Trees #Nature #Photography #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

A red bloom from a deciduous tree. It will eventually turn into a leaf.

Tons of little moss tufts cling to a tree trunk prettily.

A few little pixie cup lichens grow on a stump between tufts of vibrant green moss.

Saw a coyote on today's walk, but wasn't able to get a photo. Super cool experience though.

Also some pretty #moss, and #lichen.

A photograph of some vertically-oriented stone slabs on the top of a stone wall. The kind and colour of the stone are hard to tell, as all the exposed surfaces are coated in a layer of pale grey lichen, which is in turn covered with warty-looking apothecia, the fruiting bodies which are round and raised up with a pale grey rim and a faintly pinkish and slightly sunken inner. Some other plants and mosses and lichens fill the deep gaps between the slabs, but they’re mostly out of focus.

Another one that seems like it should be easier to identify… maybe ochrolechia parella? It had thoroughly colonised all of the exposed surfaces of this old stone wall. There are some other species tucked in the gaps… I see some cladonia cups, but that’s as much as I can name.

A photograph of a natural fibre rope barrier, wet with rain and encrusted with at least two species of lichen. One kind is a pale bluish green and has tatty papery looking “leaves”... the other is more pale green and has a finely branching hairy or fluffy appearance.

Things you can see in places with clean air and plenty of rain. Not enough of either where I spend most of my time.

The papery looking lichen might be Platismatia glauca, and I’m guessing the fluffy one is an Usnea but I don’t know what kind.

An edge on view of some lobes of dogtooth lichen, showing the long and stiff white rhizines underneath which aren’t roots but serve more to hold the thallus in place.

A view of some more mature lobes of the Iichen that have gone paler and dryer and curled up more and formed round orangey apothecia at the edges which are the fruiting parts of the lichen and will shed spores.

A clump of dogtooth lichen overgrowing some moss. The leaf-like lobes are a few centimetres across and dark grey and wrinkled on top, and white and hairy underneath. There are about 10 lobes visible in a broad patch, making it look quite plant-like.

Here’s an interesting thing… greater dogtooth lichen, or Peltigera membranacea. It is remarkably big and fast growing for a lichen… you can see it overshadowing the moss underneath it here. I had mistaken it for a liverwort, but you can see lichen-like fruiting bodies in photo 2.

A photograph of lichen or moss on the side of a tree. The lichen/moss is white and looks like soft pieces of white cloth stuck to the tree in rows. It has spaces on top where falling water could collect. The photo is dark, lit only by a single flash so the lichen is highlighted and the tree bark is just visible but the rest is in darkness, like it is in a cave. There is no picture of the Azmar insect, because I made that part up in my head. But it would be beautiful, because most insects are.

In the desert region of Exoplanet 57353 there are caves the size of interstellar cruse ships. The water from the intermittent rain slowly seeps through the ceiling and is collected in these fungi as it drips down
