Cladonia fimbriata

My good friend Robert sends me a few pictures he and his wife took along a path in north west Germany, the Waldlehr- und Erlebnispfad Dwergter Sand in the region of Oldenburger Münsterland near the city of Molbergen.

The fantastic lichen he found for me has a purple hue. A theatrical lichen. Laurens Sparrius explains this hue is caused by a fungus crest.

It's Cladonia fimbriata, Kopjes-vingermos.

Cladonai fimbriata, het paarse is een korstzwam
