I only saw this one specimen. I wonder if it might be dead. The only small branches I could reach were brittle and dry. The fallen leaves on the ground were from various red and white oaks, some cottonwood, and a few elm and cherry.

I didn't know these had spread up here on the bluff. I guess I don't usually go this far back. Up to 10 feet tall.

One of my favorite lichens. At it's best, it gives off kind of a "little Shop of Horrors" vibe. Very hard to spot among all the other yellow lichen that always seem to be present. I read somewhere that it's a listed species across the border in WI, but I find it somewhat regularly here, often on old overgrown sumac, or old clumps of willow.

This guy was very curious, and came out to the edge of the woods to see me. Not real smart of him considering it's hunting season.
