Spotting

Notes:

Clearly some kind of reproductive structure, but beautiful and alien-like. Listing this under "other" as I'm unsure how to properly classify a lichen.

This link provides a lot of information about lichens in North America, Laura. http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/interes...
I have asked the quiestion regarding where to add the lichen photos, and the answer was "under fungus" for now...

Very interesting aren't they ? Have a look at Cladonia species, Laura.
I spotted some last week with similar structures and I am still looking for an ID - thoroughly confused !
