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.
