Lichens growing on an old ship& #39;s rope: A thread.
First off:
Cladonias! Looks like some sort of powderhorn species, but not sure which powderhorns are local.
More Cladonias, but less foliose. Mixture of maybe another, smaller powderhorn, and a pixie cup species.
This one reminds me of a boulder lichen called Porpidia, but I& #39;m not sure if it would be growing here. That being said, I don& #39;t think rope is a well studied substrate, who knows.
Never learned the name of this one, but I think it& #39;s normally on spruce trees.
Aaaand that& #39;s a wrap on this thread.
Zoomed out view. Also many mosses on there.
At first I thought this was white wash, but it had pinkish apothecia
Larger pixie cup Cladonias
