Close-up of pale green-yellow, whispy, tree lichen thallus on a twig - perhaps Usnea or Parmotrema. Sign of a clean atmosphere apparently. SEE NOTES.

---

The fluffy beared-looking lichen is a 'Fruticose' tree lichen. It could be an Usnea type [? U. esperantia or U. subfloridana] or maybe a form of Ramalina (but they have flattened branches). - The flattened lichens hugging the branches / twigs are a 'Foliose' tree lichen. Perhaps Parmotrema perlatum syn. Parmotrema chinense, Parmelia perlata
