They're a fungi, and either an algae or some kind of bacteria I can't remember that exist in a symbiotic relationship...which still makes that a good question! Beautiful shot, Mike!

Looks like it has a skin condition. Perhaps some moisturizer? Nice capture.

I think I have seen this on my old tree in the yard and I won't let my grand daughter near it: However it's an artist dream shot: Sister doing well got through chemo no side effects I cannot believe it yippeee;
