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.

A lichen and moss landscape between rocks and pebbles

Various Cladonia lichens with red or brown fruiting bodies, mealy pixie cups, and haircap moss among rocks and pebbles.

The light isn't good for photography today, but I had to try out my new (to me) camera.
It has captured well the interesting colours in this lichen covered tree trunk I think.
This (and others of my more recent photographs) is of sufficient technical quality for me to offer as a high quality digital download. If anyone is interested please get in touch.

Thin vertical tree trunks against a tangled winter woodland background. The central trunk is covered with patches of blue, yellow, and green lichen.

Got lost in a new set of photos today, with small amounts of Useful Stuff in breaks. That is the wrong way round.

*gives self stern talking to*

Right. Off to be useful.

A photo of a big ball of pale green lichen on a branch that cuts horizontally against the screen. It is lit by the sunshine, and the sky is blue behind. I have drawn eyes, a big open toothy mouth, upturned arms and wee legs as if it's jumping on to the lichen ball. It started off as a happy thing, then started to look a bit fierce, so it could be read either way, but I think the overriding impression is RARRRRR!

Portraits of some of the recent lichens I've met. My guesses as to IDs:

* Flavoparmelia caperata
* A nice moss that looks like asparagus tips, with Xanthoria parietina & physcia adscendens (?) growing through / around it
* Parmotrema, physcia & candelariella
* Caloplaca species

Looking at the top of a horizontal fence rail, which is covered in layer after layer of grey-green lichen seemingly piled on top of one another. It has wide lobes like leaves, and sections of raised dots like tiny mushrooms

Lichen and moss on a cliff face in the mist :) #mosstodon #LichenSubscribe #BlueMountains

A craggy rock face dappled with white and orange lichen colonies, blotches of yellow green moss, and two tiny bushes growing out of a crevice. Dharug and Gundungurra country.

Some lichen finds, plus (what I think might be) a slime mould

* Various crustose species on the back of a gravestone
* Slime mould (?) that appeared within a few minutes of wetting this old gate beam
* Patterns on lichen on an old wooden seat
* A cladonia species growing amongst moss on an old wooden fence

Edit: Consensus seems to be that it's not a slime mold, but likely a fungus. Still interesting!

Various splats of lichen on the back of a dark near-black stone gravestone, looking like countries that border each other. Colours include yellow, different greys, charcoal. There's also a grey-green foliose lichen that looks like a many-tentacled octopus

Trumpet Lichen (Cladonia fimbriata) growing between Haircap moss and stones

#lichen #lichensubscribe #moss #Mosstodon #closeup #nature

The photo shows a lichen growing on the ground between stones and dry haircap moss.
The lichen consists of tiny green lobes (leaves) at the base, from which small, upright, gray-green, trumpet-shaped podetia (the stems) grow.
The surface of the podetia looks as if it is covered with a granular powder called soredia.
The soredia consist of algae cells and fungal hyphae, a method of reproduction of the lichen when these soredia are spread by e.g. wind.

In mid-October, I took my ridiculous 4mm fisheye lens out to the forest.

It's honestly not bad for photographing mushrooms – uniquely enabling you to get both the mushroom and the rest of the forest in frame at the same time. And it's always fun to experiment.

This week, I got myself a camera and am now very happy that I can also contribute to my favorite hashtags :)

A branch of a tree covered in moss and ivy going diagonally over the lower right part of the image. Behind it, there is a river and more trees, between which one can get an idea of a grey sky. But that is out of focus.

ALT

A thin branch going in a nice arc in front of a very blurry and rather grey background. On the branch, there grows some moss that forms a little ball and in front of it sits some lichen.

Close up on a branch, centered on some lichen that grows on it. The lichen is surrounded by moss. The background is quite blurry.

Some lichen patterns. I particularly like how #3 and its 3D, overlapping lobes turned out, but then #4 has lovely shapes and colours. I like #2's demilitarised zones between colonies. And then #1's yellow blobs on black and white is pretty cool too. I guess they're all my favourite...
