Lichens on sloan

Two lichen species -Evernia prunastri (at the bottom) and Hypogymnia tubulosa (at the top) - growing on a sloan shrub next to Z's office. In Sweden we call the first one Sloan Lichen (slånlav), the second one Drumstick lichen (pukstockslav).

They seemed to like the wet and mild weather. A lichen is a partnership of two or more partners - most often one algal part and one fungal.
