Cladonia coniocraea, Hesse, Germany. Lichens are interesting life forms: fungi hold algae captive in a way, that their relationship is in-between a symbiosis and purely parasitic, also described as controlled parasitism. The lichen species was assigned using the book, "Farbatlas Flechten und Moose" by Volkmar Wirth and Ruprecht Düll, Eugen Ullmer GmbH, 2000, ISBN 3-8001-3517-5. Please contact me, if you think that it is a different species.
