The purpose of this forum is to help people identify things they've seen while out hiking: wildflowers, trees, birds, insects, small animals, animal tracks, even geographical features like buttes or streams

Found this awesome coral-looking lichen on a tree near Multorpor.

The coloring is interesting - I think that comes from a fungus that's on (or in) the lichen.
