Cladonia asahinae, the pixie cup lichen or Asahina's cup lichen, growing from the weathered planks of an old cabin in Huu-ay-aht Territory on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. This clump looked particularly extraterrestrial with its tiny "fingers"; perhaps better named "pax"ie cup.

Cladonia asahinae, the pixie cup lichen or Asahina's cup lichen, is near the top of my favorite things to photograph list. It engages my sense of child-like wonder and reminds me of the amazing range of tiny life, largely unnoticed, around us all the time.

It's a Small World

I think this may be Cladonia fimbriata or the trumpet cup lichen. But, as there are 233 Cladonia species of pixie cup lichens there is a possibility I may be wrong.
