This isn't the most outstanding picture I've ever posted, but it was a unique part of the scenes along the mountain trail as we climbed Tom, Dick & Harry Mt. in Oregon. I took the picture for the mass amount of lichens and moss on one tree. I guess all the moisture that Oregon gets at some times throughout the year (certainly not when we were there!) is conducive to all the growth. Lichens technically aren't fungi - but they require fungi to exist. They are the result of fungi and algae living in a symbiotic relationship - if you are interested in the scientifics.
