Description

Xanthoria parietina is usually orange, so exciting to see it this green in the wet!

What a marvelous find. It does look alien. You even caught the little tightrope the travelers use.

we had jokes, years ago, about "foliose" (a place where boats come---Port Foliose) (portfolios?) (it was a bad joke)...but that has nothing to do with the shot. You got not only the leafy lettuce textures, and all those 'cups' that one finds in lichens, but a wonderfully moist look throughout. A real eye grabbing capture of one of nature's most exotic growths, and the drippy moist coating almost looks like a glazed dessert.
