Saw this little mini world while clearing the rockery.



Thought Robin would know which type of moss this might be?????

it looks like another planet doesn't it!especially for me at the moment, living in the concrete jungle. I like the macro effect in the first photo, when the foreground and background just become a blur - really draws the eye in to the point of focus :)

Thanks - wish I could have taken the picture you like in better focus - I'll persevere til I can come up with a better view :)

Yes, it's Cup Lichen of the Cladonia family. This one is 'fimbriata', distinguished by the greygreen powdery 'soredia' on the cup and stem. "The Prof."
