I have always had a fondness for fungi. Lichens are a mix of fungi and algae that  grow on rocks and trees.

My favorite forms of these little hybrid beings are the fruticose kind. These are shrubby and sometimes pendulent.

This beauty was on a fallen stick beside a trail I hiked this afternoon.

I love how its growth cascades off the former branch it was growing on.

Lovely color and form!
I am lovin’ this little lichen!
