Some cute #mosses on my afternoon walk today. Love how #moss and #lichen cohabitates so happily together. Makes little mosaics on stone, branches, and the trunks of trees.

Straggly moss and grey lichen on a birch branch.

Poofy moss being poofy. Like it do.

A narrow branch, and the moss that loves it.

Frosty moss on the side of a big rock.

"When frogs dream, lichens smile. Ecological connections were explored anew. Artists recorded conversations of small creatures. People sat fascinated in flower meadows. Children laughed in the forest with knobbly mosses and chatty ants."

Disover my virtual exhibit of #BiodiversityShrines - about finds in a fictional future: https://www.cronenburg.net/biodiversity/
It was a real exhibit, now saved online.

A hanging collage in green, white and orange tones with natural finds. The most important parts of this abstract collage are wooden sticks (one with a bright orange lichen), a real lichen with embroidery stitches in silk yarn, a small porcellaine frog and a historic illustration of water plants.

The zoom on the abstract collage shows the two wooden sticks and the embroidered real grey lichen on a background of textile scraps and intuitive embroidery. One stick is lemon tree without bark, the stick with bark is cobered with a bright orange lichen. This colour is repeated in the stitches on the real grey lichen.

A pretty little patch of Xanthoria Parietine #lichen. I think I'm growing a little Shrek in my garden.

Yesterday I posted some #moss pictures from my lunchtime walk; that's currently the most-boosted toot I've had on Mastodon!

So here's some more - same walk, different bits of #mosses, #lichens, and #frosty leaves. Enjoy.

Fuzzy mounds of half frozen mosses crown a grey stump.

Crystals of pale ice cling to and highlight the edges of a few pale leaves, silhouetted against the darker leaves below them.

Tube-like lichens, some sporting pale blooms, climb the side of an old stump. Tons of life in one little spot.

Shaggy, frozen mosses drape along the edge of a large stone, a few smaller ones in the background sport similar fronds.

Couldn’t decide which one to post so I picked all four! #fungi #FungiFriday #lichen #Moss #Mosstodon #nature #mushrooms #mushtodon ❤️

Beige wood mushrooms growing out of a stump. They range in size from 1 inch to almost 3 inches across. There’s also a variety of moss and lichen surrounding them.

MacroClose-up of the top of the large wood mushroom showing water from a recent rain in the center and glistening drops all across its top. Kinda looks like an eye!
