Nature Lichen, Xanthoria parietina?

Lichen, Xanthoria parietina? · **1 Like**

One more shot from today's trip. Many of you know this, but anyway: Lichen is a symbiosis between a fungus and an alga. And the alga of course produce the carbohydrates via photosynthesis.

Yep, Xanthoria. Nice capture!

At my age it's a question of remembering that I've learnt.
