Bushy beard lichen - in color...

Shot with the macro lens and all three extension tubes. I guess I can't get any closer than that. Shot 2/4.

Lovely capture - I wouldn't want to fall into them!

@bigmxx Thanks, Michelle. Their texture is kind of soft and spongy. They would cushion your fall if there was enough of them.
