Thank you very much Mark Ridgway. @ dandoucette: Have I thank you for your help and you were correct? With drP's help, I found that it is Cladonia family and it is called "Cladonia cerviocornis." So, thank you so much for your help again!
This is a beautiful lichen. I never saw this one before. If I had to guess, I'd go with Cladonia cerviocornis. As you said, the color doesn't match many of the photos online, but that can be variable. This picture from the US Forest Service looks mighty close. I'll check out my big book of lichens when I get home and see if I can get any more info. http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/interes...
Thank you very much Dan. I checked under "Cladonia" but none exactly like mine. Shapse like "Cladonia cervicornis" and colors like "Cladonia diversa," so I am confused.....

Fabulous species Reiko. Glad I found it.
The only common name for it I can find is just "cup lichen", which is what Plants.gov calls it: http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symb...
I've never ID'd a mushroom before, but I'll give your spotting a try. Wish me luck!
Thank you very much drP! The picture you sent me is exactly the same one!
Is it called "Cladonia cerviocornis," and Scientific name?
Since you are so good, may I ask one more? I am still searching for the ID for this beautiful mushroom. Do you have any idea?

Pretty cool! Definitely a lichen, maybe a species of Cladonia?
