    This is Pseudocyphellaria anthrasp. I put this name in Google and a lot of my images came up from my website. Try it in Google.

    Great shot of a rare lichen!! It reminds me a bit of the suckers on an octopus.

    Very cool @Kildale. I love lichen.

    You know the saying "Al-guy and Fun-guy took a 'liken' to each other'? In the case of your fungi above, there doesn't seem to be much green chlorophyll. Maybe it is red algae instead of green?
