30.10.2025 07:37 โ ๐ 48 ๐ 4 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0A dense collection of several kinds of lichen growing on the end of a stick. Some is almost like flat leaves or sheets, some is finely branched, some has coral or antler-like structure, and others too. It's mostly pale verdigris green but there are color and texture variations too.

A lime green slime mold that looks like hundreds of tiny ping pong balls attached to dark wood.
Lamproderma sp. slime mold. Northwest Territories, Canada, a few summers ago. This slime mold is part way through the fruiting process. A day later this had become multicoloured and iridescent. #slimemould #myxo #fungifriends

When I lived in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, my favourite time of year for lichen looking was late winter. Ice roads would give me access to many miles of exposed lakeside rocky outcrops. Below are 3 species of Rhizoplaca that were common on these outcrops. #lichens #arctic #fungifriends.
