The Living Forest (442) : Trumpet Lichen

Trumpet lichens form a nice colourful accent in the winter forest.

This lichen prefers to grow in dense clusters on rotting wood of old tree trunks and is not larger than 1 cm.

Years ago when my son was a little boy, I told him these were all small green chimney pipes of the gnomes……. :-))

Just like fungi, lichens too are an interesting and fascinating aspect of nature with 25.000 species having been described and identified worldwide.
A lichen is a composite organism consisting of a fungus and a (mostly green) alga and grows as a single individual.

Dutch name : Kopjes Bekermos (ook Groen Bekermos genoemd)
German name : Trompetenflechte
Latin name : Cladonia fimbriata
