Many outdoor photographers will often see a great opportunity for an interesting foreground when they come across a patch of moss (as you can see from the images below). But moss or lichen can also be great subjects themselves. These 50 photos of moss and lichen show what can be done with a little imagination when you're in the great outdoors.

Moss and Lichens

✿⊱╮♥ Lichens

Cladonia aka pixie cup lichen is a genus of moss-like lichens. They are the primary food source for reindeer and caribou

This fluffy green lichen is a common sight around here. It grows in clumps in sandy areas with plenty of sun. Despite the name, deer moss is not eaten by deer or most other animals due to the fact that it’s quite acidic. The acidity makes it taste bad and will result in a good stomach ache if eaten. It looks nice scattered among the brown leaf litter, though.
