lichen


         This specimen is a lichen. It was found 2 blocks from my house. This specimen is a lichen because it's a free standing branching tubes on the tree. The specimen was complex and highly branched.  A lichen is any of numerous complex plantlike organisms made up of an alga and a fungus growing in symbiotic association on a solid surface
