251/366: Red Button and Black Current Lichen on White and Green Fungus

If you stare closely at Oak trees and many other types as well, you will find all kinds of lichen and sometimes fungus encrusted on the bark. This tiny plantlife is often so small that it will appear to be different-colored dots, a fuzzy haze, or an odd mold. It's only when you have a macro lens or magnifying glass, that you can see how cool they look! I'm not sure what these species are called, but the lichen (I think that's lichen) looks like tiny red buttons and black currents, so there you go! I have seen the red buttons in black, white, green, yellow, and sometimes a color with white edging. Super cool and such fun to photograph! (Please correct me if the red buttons are a kind of fungus!)
