These rocks are often covered with various types of lichen, such as this rock shield lichen. One of the most beautiful rock shield lichens, which I particularly like, is this "Shingled Rock-shield Lichen" (Xanthoparmelia viriduloumbrina), which has grown together from several individual lichens. #lichen #LichenSubscribe #nature #closeup #rocks https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/115/729/588/874/287/523/original/a58921bb33636d7b.jpg npub150pquf87s8wyrd3n7q0vdcp0z4q8d9nypkvca0z93zfjxc6ld7nsqlsuyn Hans Cladonia lichens in moss #LichenSubscribe #Mosstodon #closeup #nature https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/115/713/568/409/804/716/original/44373a9ea3958e3e.jpg npub150pquf87s8wyrd3n7q0vdcp0z4q8d9nypkvca0z93zfjxc6ld7nsqlsuyn Hans Cladonia lichen on an old tree stump #lichen #lichensubscribe #naturephotography #closeup https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/115/685/974/654/368/025/original/5baa2e23e846a0c9.jpg npub150pquf87s8wyrd3n7q0vdcp0z4q8d9nypkvca0z93zfjxc6ld7nsqlsuyn Hans 'Nah dran' #FotoVorschlag Occasionally, I have shown reindeer lichens such as the Grey Reindeer lichen (Cladonia rangiferina).
