Rosette Pyxie Cup Lichen (Cladonia pocillum). NWT, Canada.
#lichen #fungi #fungifriends
Photo of a lichen that consists of (a) a base (growing on the ground) that looks like a mound of shiny, light green corn flakes, and (b) several podetia growing up from the base that look like grey golf tees. The top of the tees are ringed with tiny red beads. Inside the tee tops are a bunch of tiny, blue-green discs.
