RE: Trying Out FungiFriday for the First Time

technically it's at least part fungus...

what you have there is "lichen", a very specific kind of life form where a fungus and some algae form a symbiotic relationship. The fungus mainly provides thestructure and the algea makes the nutrition through photosynthesis... that's why you'll always find lichen on surfaces that get exposure to light.

Very cool. Thanks so much for the info!
