A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife

This Lichen was seen in Te Anau on the lake front. This lichen is larger than my hand, and it has often been said that the size is a reflection of the age of the organism. Wonder how old they are. Lichen are of course an association between an algae and a fungi. The first is a close up of the second photo.
