Lichens are beautifully bizarre [composite] organisms, and I wish I had an easier time of identifying them

The image shows a close-up of a piece of lichen on a forest floor. The lichen is white with a branching, web-like structure, and it's situated on a green mossy surface along with a small twig. The background is blurred but has earthy and woody tones.

Heute habe ich es endlich mal wieder geschafft mich im Garten auf den Boden zu legen.

Common Toadskin lichen (Lasallia papulosa) on a rock

The photo shows several large grey lobes of a lichen growing next to each other on a rock.
Each of these lobes is connected to the rock by a single holdfast. Their upper side with many pustules resembles the skin of toads.
The lichen is surrounded by dry brown pine needles.

#MosstodonMonday

Young #cedar #tree is all dressed in magnificent #mosses & #lichen
One of the lovely sights you can see & admire, while exploring the coastal temperate rainforests in BC.

A dense, verdant forest scene featuring a prominent cedar tree trunk with branches heavily draped in long, hanging moss. The moss creates a sense of depth and an enchanted atmosphere. The scene is dominated by shades of green and brown, with filtered light creating soft shadows

Today my child and I got out on our first hike of 2025, on the Wiley Trails. It was drizzling and raining the whole time, but it was awesome to be able to get outdoors again.

Here's some trumpet lichen (𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘢) that we saw:

A closeup of a patch of blue-green lichen, trumpet-shaped cups interspersed with masses of little tentacles reaching for the sky.

Just love the colours and textures on this tree branch. Small pleasures on a grey day. Lack knowledge, but appreciate beauty!

Three different textures of moss/lichen on a tree branch. Bright free, blue green with brown underside and a yellowish green

There's a lot of tiny detail in this lichen, despite it being mostly one colour...and so many shapes. It's possibly a Parmelia???

Update: Probably Pseudevernia furfuracea, thanks to feedback from @Hagukh!

Closeup of a mass of grey lichen. It isn't flat like a number of lichens, but has grown into various 3D shapes. There are parts that look like hanging Wisteria flower buds, others are branched like coral with brown tips, some are curled like seaweed. There are dark shadows underneath / behind where there could be other things lurking...

@Hagukh Did I ever say that your wonderful macro photos inspire me to embroider #mosses and #lichen in 3D? Seeing this photo, I think about how I could recreate the grey bodies. (My first try was not very realistic).
