Close-up of a lichen (possibly *Lichenomphalia*) on tree bark. The lichen has uniquely shaped thalli with ruffled edges, exhibiting a gradient of green to yellow where the edges meet. Small fruiting bodies with red and orange centers are interspersed among the thalli. The surface is textured with soredia and small, round structures. Dew droplets add a glistening effect. These biological formations display complex relationships between fungi and photosynthetic organisms and play a crucial role in ecosystems as primary colonizers.
