RE: The Old Dog Presents: The Mundane as Art Round Nine. Moss and Lichen! 20 Steem in Prizes!
I'm am amature wildlife photographer and just happened to be taking pictures of lichen today and now I find this comp. It must be a sign! Here is my submision, a Xanthoria species of some kind I believe, hope you like it.
Wow! are those mushrooms on top of moss?
No. This is just the way this species of Lichen grows I think.
One of the more interesting ones I have ever seen.
Thanks!
This is wonderful!
Thanks! I'm pretty pleased how it turned out. Was just doing some reading and according to the Woodland Trust there are 1700 species of Lichen here in the UK and some colonies are 8000 years old apparently! I think I shall have to learn more. :)
It's amazing how Steemit can stimulate our curiosity! Once again it's a great photo and a great find.
Totally awesome photo @timspawls
Thank you Michelle! :D
