That is a possibility, it may have fallen of a branch and got trapped in the snow below.
I am fine, except that I was busy with college for the past few months. This month is a holiday for us, so I am relatively free to spent time sharing my findings and learning from Project Noah.
PN is getting richer and richer day by day with wonderful spottings. Its quiet amazing.

Thank you, namitha! I have also not seen them grow on the snow, so I am thinking it may have fallen of a branch. How are you?

Interesting spotting Jakubko. Lichen growing from snow covered earth. I didn't know they could survive such extremes. I have seen pictures of lichen growth in temperate rocks, but this is new to me.
