Trumpet Lichen or Pixie Cup- Cladonia sp
The Trumpet Lichen and Pixie Cup are two species of lichens that are very similar to one another. The cup-shaped structures aid dispersal; when rain drops hit the cup, the water splashes out, carrying asexually reproducing fragments of the lichen, or spores.
Unknown moss species
Clubmoss?
I'm not too familiar with this group of plants or what they are about. They are their own group (I think taxonomically at the division level). Perhaps a topic for future posts.
Assorted mosses and lichens
For your viewing pleasure.
A dream of mine is to someday learn how to decorate fancy cakes, like frosting flowers and stuff. And than I'd turn my skills over to the production of giant cakes decorated to look like the assemblages pictured above, with the mosses and lichens made out of frosting. This dream may someday become a reality since my mom is an expert at cake decorating . . .
