This is just one of many parts of a decaying tree that had an incredibly textured surface painted with the colors of various lichens. Lichens are a type of fungus. Some are flat like this, others look like mushroom caps growing on the sides of trees and others sport intricately branched structures. This scene was photographed at the Garden of Eden Trail at the Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve in Liberty County, Florida.
