Occasionally, I have shown reindeer lichens such as the Grey Reindeer lichen (Cladonia rangiferina).
This time, I am showing this lichen in its very rare fertile form with tiny apothecia. Hard to find and there are hardly any photos of this kind on the internet.
Many lichens are currently buried under snow and ice, but some can still be found on accessible trees.
Here is a lichen found on a pine cone:
The Mealy Rim Lichen (Lecanora strobilina)

@rnf@mindly.social Thanks!
The ‘little green plates’ are the apothecia I mentioned in the alt-text. Apothecia are fruiting bodies that produce spores of the lichen.
They don't turn into cups.
