Lichen the fungi...

The orange fungus is Crowded Parchment and it's keeping good company with green shield lichen and bushy beard lichen. A helpful website I used to identify this fungus is here - https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/196842-Stereum-complicatum/browse_photos

Interesting to see different species living in perfect harmony ... humans should follow the exemple ;)

Beautiful colors all together on one tree trunk. Nicely captured.

@cocobella Most of us do. But they will punish all of us for the crimes of the few.

It's interesting to know the different names - don't think I've seen that particular kind of orange fungus before. The green shield lichen is everywhere this year.

@milaniet Lichens are supposed to be a direct indication of air quality. So that may be good that you are seeing so many of those.

@sherimiya Thank you, Sheri, and you're welcome.

@ludwigsdiana Thanks so much, Diana!

@wakelys Thanks, Susan!
