After walking through the mushroom-peppered field, you look closely on the surrounding bark and steel sign posts. Both support an almost alien world of lichens. There seem to be two dominant types: a citrus-colored one with a minute, leafy texture and a much largely leafy one with a blue main body and covered in purple-red cups. But on the branches above and the plastic boardwalk below, more lichens await...

Mealy Rosette Lichen (sea foam-colored lichen), unidentified Rosette Lichen (blue), and Candleflame Lichen (yellowish)
|
 |
| Two different species of rosette lichen |
 |
| Detail on the Mealy Rosette Lichen |
 |
| Unidentified rosette lichen growing on some cool wood |
 |
| Unidentified asco mushrooms. All asco mushrooms belong to pezizomycotina, except for Neolecta, which these are not |
 |
| Mycena corticola mushrooms with bright ble Rough Speckled Shield Lichen, along wit other lichens |
 |
| Such cute lil' shroomies. Such a big, bright lichen. And what luxurious bark! |
 |
| Bark dominated with Candleflame Lichen (lime-lemon colored) |
 |
| Mycena corticola and lichen friends |
 |
| Rosette lichens (bluish) and Candleflame Lichen (lemony-colored) on rusty iron, among others. Definitely not a natural lichen substrate, but a neat adaptation! |
 |
| unidentified shield lichen among others |
 |
| Lots of Mealy Rosette and Candleflame lichen |
 |
| Crust fungi and Rosette Lichens |
 |
| Candleflame Lichens abso-toot-ly thriving on some, y'know, corten steel. Real neat adaptations here! |
 |
| Unidentified lichen on faux-wood texture plastic |
 |
| Crowded Parchment (orange crust fungus) and lots of green lichen |
 |
| Leiobunum politum with some corten steel lichens. Leiobunum politum is a harvestman, or spider relative that has a completely fused torso, solid-food diet, and is likely omnivorous. |
