Very interesting. Is this a mushroom or fungi related? It certainly makes a striking banner.

We love lichens, and that's an exceptional specimen.
Very pretty banner, Valarie.

I didn't realize they created larger structures on
branches, but it has more food than on a rock.

I wish the lichen on trees around here was so colorful. Most is just grey green. Even our Witches Butter fungus is brown and not the yellow varieties.
