EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by Nick Upton, we witness a mesmerizing collaboration between lichen and heathland. The vibrant green hues of the reindeer moss (Cladonia portentosa) gracefully drape around a majestic coniferous tree stump, creating a whimsical scene straight out of a fairytale. Ascomycetes, lecanoromycetes, cladoniaceae – these scientific names may sound like spells from an ancient wizard's book, but they are actually the magical ingredients that make up this stunning display of nature's artistry. This fungi-fueled fashion statement is not to be missed!
