Cladonia sp.

Not sure how many species of Cladonica Lichen there are in Alberta, but I know so little about them that I won't even attempt to identify these in my macro shot. We found this clump of these very tiny lichens on a botanizing walk near Turner Valley, south of Calgary, on an acreage belonging to Susan Wright. Thanks so much, Susan, for taking us out to explore your beautiful and interesting property. As soon as I saw this cluster on a small log, they just looked different from what I usually see.
