Just a pebble covered with colorful lichens in the moss...

This photo reportage is genuine, created in a real Homo sapiens brain, and produced without any AI rubbish: an #expedition to a distant #planet where strong evidence of life had been found: the planet Elder 0815, part of the famous Mosslich-system. https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/d242349d-fa59-4af8-a834-c93d580a4039

I posted a looping gif of an oyster mushroom releasing its spores and a lot of people liked it, so I thought I'd mention I put up the original unedited footage in 4k on my YouTube.

Made another little sculpture, this time to test the pink phosphorescent paint. (Which looks orange in the dark but that doesn’t make it any less magical. :’D)

I walk by this one fence all the time, and no matter the weather, the yellow-green lichen just pierces my eyes. I’ve never seen such day-glow fluorescence on a natural object before. A photo doesn’t quite capture the intensity of it, but here’s one (with no color adjustments).

I don't like to take photos of lichens when they are dry or in full sunlight. But in drizzling rain and light fog, as of today, they show their most beautiful colors:
Madame's Cup Lichen (Cladonia coccifera) in the moss, covered with tiny raindrops

It was the first time I found the Brown Beret Lichen (Baeomyces rufus) on a rock instead of on soil or gravel.
And when I took a closer look at the photo, I noticed some “hairs” all around this lichen, especially to the left of it. It turned out that these “hairs” are also a type of lichen, but so far I’m still very unsure to identify this hairy lichen.
