I returned to my first Tree of Life to check on its changes since 2017. (See link below.)
Tree of Life
Most of the fungi was gone. Instead it was covered with lichens and mosses.
The bark and covering life forms were still soaking wet from a downpour the day before.
Water was actually traveling through the mosses and dripping onto the ground below.
The tree itself looked less alive but it was totally covered with other forms of life.
It was truly beautiful.

What a wonderful community of lichens. The top one looks unusual. I’ve just been watching Strictly Come Dancing so it reminded me of one of the sparkly costumes the dancers wear.

It will be interesting to keep documenting it.
