Lichens and moss in a rock crevice.

#lichen #LichenSubscribe #mosstodon #moss

A wider spot in a rock crevice.
The ground is covered with small light-green leaves (squamules) and dark green moss.
Out of the squamules grow beige-green powdery goblet-shaped lichens, with small red fruiting bodies (apothecia) on its upper margins.
These lichens are mostly Red-fruited Pixie Cup lichens (Cladonia pleurota) among a few other Cladonia lichens.
The moss, a Bristly Haircap moss (Polytrichum piliferum), has dark green leaves with hair-like awns on the leaf tips and young reddish sporophytes.
A ray of sunshine falls into this spot with grey blurred rocks in the background.
