A decayed and splitting tree stump is completely covered in moss and lichen. However it is split in two sections, and each part has a completely different kind of moss on it. The core wood has more frond-like moss, while the bark has finer, hairier moss.

Title: "Lunar Landscape with Pecans"... No, wait...

"Elephant Skin with Walnuts and an Asteroid Crater"...No, that's not even remotely plausible...

"Volcanic Landscape with Lentils"... What?

"Lichen Landscape on a Stone". Ah yes, that's it

From Akaroa, Aotearoa

A rough-textured sheet of grey lichen with red-brown highlights, cracked and fissured like a dry river bed. There's a cluster of raised orange nodules that look like walnuts in the top left corner, while the right-hand side is dominated by a roughly circular sunken blue-grey flat depression spattered with black, grey, and red-brown flat spots.

Looking for an interesting alternative to "Sincerely" at the end of an email, for my new professional horticulture email address. Something botanical, green, sciency, growing...

Um, is pink lichen a thing? Or is this some residue of a pink human made material? But it's really lichen shaped.

What appears to be bubble-gum-Barbie-pink lichen on a rough stone.

The same pink lichen in context, with some clumps of green moss in the foreground.

I knew it would be a good day for #LichenSubscribe and it was! These are all fancy camera except the third, which is my phone camera.

A patch of Cladonia lichen on a wet log. It is mostly flat sea-green leafy bits, but there are some short little stalks tipped with orange (which I only noticed after looking at the photos!)

A wet stick encrusted with very pale blue-green lichen with a healthy profusion of warm brown apothecia. There is also a little patch of some chartreuse lichen and another that is very pale yellow-green and leafy, like lettuce. Wet orange oak leaves are in the background.

A fallen piece of bark on a carpet of oak leaves sports a fantastic rosette of seafoam-green lichen, mostly leafy but with frothy bits concentrated towards the centre.

A wet stick encrusted with various small greenish lichens and a growth of convoluted brown jelly fungus adorning the end, held up above a background of wet oak leaves.

Golden Moonglow lichen (Dimelaena oreina) on a rock at the north shore of Lake Huron.

The photo shows part of a grey rock covered with round, crustose lichens.
The lichens have dark areole in the center, some with black fruiting bodies (apothecia).
On the edges grow white-yellow radiating lobes.

Lichens on a thick tree trunk

The photo shows part of a thick tree trunk with brown, coarse bark.
Many lichens grow on this bark, with two large dominant foliose lichens in the center.
The upper lichen, a Moondust Speckled Lichen (Punctelia caseana), has yellow-green, overlapping lobes covered with broken white patches of soralia*.
The lower lichen, a Star Rosette lichen (Physcia stellaris), has green lobes with black fruiting bodies (apothecia).
Grass and trees can be seen in the distance in the blurred background.

*Soralia are openings of the lobes where soredia are produced.
Soredia are small granules of fungal hyphae and algae for the reproduction of the lichen.

Love the gradient and black infill on this one. I believe this is a Hypogymnia.

A circular patch of lichen on a branch. The color slowly changes from white in the middle to green on the rim. The tightly packed radiating branches are outlined in a deep black.

Inspiration for today's #inkyDays drawing comes from some of the lovely photographs of lichen I saw in my vis.social timeline. I also made some progress with this piece I've been working on.

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks a bit like lichen. My glass dipping pen is next to my sketchbook.

Some quick shots of an alien landscape that has been long overdue for a focus stack. Needs just the right amount of overcast sky to look good, though.
