This is lichen growing in the base of a tree.

  1. I'm just making sure you know that a lichen isn't acutally a single organism, its an intimate relationship between a fungus and either an algae or a protist. Since I don't know which this is, I'll be generous and make the assumption that the autotrophic portion is an algae.
