Letharia vulpina
Neon green stuff growing on pine- I don't know if this should be in the plant category. As you can see in the pictures it was much thicker on the dead tree.
We were certainly above 5,000'. I think it was around 8,000'.
Wolf moss is actually a lichen- and was named because it was used to poison wolves.

Looks like a match!
No- thank you Suzanne you may have gotten me on the right track- what about Wolf Moss?
Hmm, Nehemiah, you could be right. Still a candidate, but I may have been moving too fast ... cuz I missed that. Sorry-sorry.
I am not sure if it is Reindeer Lichen- the lichen on the etsy link said it was dyed.
Here's a photo that looks more like yours ...
