An incredibly 'rare find' macro. 4 different forms of lichen growing within 25 centimetres of each other.
My family has just left, had a wonderful time. Will catch up on comments over the next couple of days.
The Lichen on this rock appeared plugged in with vivid colors as the sun was setting over one of the Trail Islands. There is a tiny bit of sea water frozen in the middle of the black puddle that looks to be swallowing the island beyond.
The colors were magnificent at this moment, even highlighting the grasses and coloring them orange, and then it was gone.

While they were chopping down the evergreens in the car park the other day, they also cut loads of other trees back too. To make it worse they cut back the one tree that I always found loads of lovely lichen on. Oh well, I did at least find a substitute.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Can't add much to the title -- lichen on a cherry tree. Lichens can grow almost anywhere.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
Like all lichens, Xanthoria parietina depends on symbiotic algae or other organisms living within the enclosing thallus of the fungus. The algae perform photosynthesis to produce sugars. In exchange the fungus provides nutrients and an amenable environment. In this case the Trebouxia algae are widespread and often free-living, inhabiting places like tree branches. The tough thallus conserves moisture and grows thicker in sunlight to protect the algae from intense solar radiation.
Common orange lichen doesn't disperse itself as easily as many lichens. It relies on mites that feed on it, then deposit fertile faecal pellets at new locations.
This species likes coastal habitats. In the Waterloo area, it often appears near rivers or streams. This one grows on an ash overshadowing Cedar Creek. Unlike many lichen it tolerates pollution and heavy metals. Its success over other lichens may indicate higher pollution levels.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
(012/365) Best viewed Large. I believe these to be Black Tar Lichen (which coats the rock like tar) & Orange Lichen. Found on rocks above the tideline on Baginbun beach.

I need to return in the morning and hope for better light on the other side. ...and bring the tripod pod too.
Anyone from Tasmania would probably recognise these rocks as being from Bay of Fires, Binalong , Tasmania. There are some awesome photos around of BoF , but I was mesmerised by the rocks themselves. The orange is of course lichen. The name ‘Bay of Fires’ was given by an English explorer, Captain Tobias Furneaux when he sailed past in 1773 and spotted numerous Aboriginal fires along the coast.
We had 40c+ temps here today , in and out of the pool all the day, now we have thunder , lightning and thunderstorms. Love our Aussie weather 😉
Happy weekend everyone 👋
The last I think I'll share from my beachcombing adventures in Woolacombe Bay. This tiny blob of lichen drew my attention because it brought to mind an autumnal oak tree in its own little landscape,

Enter the world of lichen. Google tell s me "it's a composite organism that arises from algae living among multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship. This image taken using 1 - white lighting arm on an adaptalux lighting pod using a 40 mm kit macro lens.

Into the woods! Well, not literally… We had more than our share of rain these days and the best I could do was to take a short stroll in one of my favorite parks. Walking around, looking desperately to find something worth taking, this small lichen (perhaps 2” wide) caught my attention. It was perfectly circular and grew on an old wooden fence. It reminded me of a miniature doily. I couldn’t resist and I took the shot.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
