Nice picture and descriptions! Just wondering if the 'crustose' one is really flattened. Do you have any closeup picture of this orange little creature?

The orange 'crustose' lichen is very eye-catching! I believe it is easy to see it from far away.

Some birds may build their nest with the help of foliose lichen. The foliose lichen is put on the nest's exterior as foliose lichen can be used to camouflage the nest and helps waterproof the nest.

Q) How do the lichens stick to the nest's exterior?
