Bright green growth. As with all Lichen, these are "composite organisms consisting of a symbiotic organism composed of a fungus (the mycobiont) with a photosynthetic partner (the photobiont or phycobiont), usually either a green alga (commonly Trebouxia) or cyanobacterium (commonly Nostoc)." - Wikipedia

Lovely shade of green... I like this photo a lot.
