Wow! I love lychen and have noticed many varied ones but never with red growth like yours. I'm puzzled. Excellent macro!

Nicely detailed and beautiful splash of colour.

Great photo - I 'think' its a lichen and the red tops are the spores that burst to reproduce. If I get a minute I will search that one out.

You could ask Al Chesworth, great bit of colour, isnt it great when you catch a bit of colour on a dull day
