Lichens growing on an old ship's rope: A thread.
First off:
Cladonias! Looks like some sort of powderhorn species, but not sure which powderhorns are local.
More Cladonias, but less foliose. Mixture of maybe another, smaller powderhorn, and a pixie cup species.
This one reminds me of a boulder lichen called Porpidia, but I'm not sure if it would be growing here. That being said, I don't think rope is a well studied substrate, who knows.
Never learned the name of this one, but I think it's normally on spruce trees.
Aaaand that's a wrap on this thread.
Zoomed out view. Also many mosses on there.
At first I thought this was white wash, but it had pinkish apothecia
Larger pixie cup Cladonias
