Description
To my surprise we find many different lichens close together in this primeval forest Sababurg, like this one, the lesser sulphur-cup (Cladonia deformis) with these red blooming caps on top of the cups. All these lichens are found on the forest-soil, close to places where old wood is digested by many different organisms, returning the nutrients to the forest.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Never seen them blooming before and it's nice to learn the name of the species.

This reminds me of something seen under a microscope. They make a great image!

Wonderful shot, J-C. Everything is part of some cycle or other; this lichen's job is to turn the dead wood into soil for the next generation.

What a wild assortment of lichens. I've said it before and will say it again...they would be right at home in an undersea setting. =]
