British Soldiers is a lichen which gets its name from its resemblance to the uniforms worn by English soldiers during the Revolutionary War. A lichen is not just one organism, but a fungus and algae living together to form a new organism.
British Soldiers can usually be found growing on decaying wood, soil, mossy logs, tree bases, and stumps.
