Today I spent the first day of the rest of my life walking through the woods with my young cousin.
He is visiting from Texas and staying with my parents so we went walking through their woods to get the lay of the land.
While walking through an area that I don't hike over very often, we noticed some red color
under foot in an area of where the path was soft with decaying wood.The red is the spore of a lichen called British Soldier Lichen (Cladonia cristatella).

Catching up on your posts. Very nice especially about your dad. And the twin sister story was hilarious!!!
Someone taught me about the British Soldier Lichen last year so I was pleased to identify it before reading your post.Nice photo
Very interesting-I will have to see if it grows around here. Something I could show the granddaughters whe we take walks in the woods. Hope you are enjoying your visit with your cousin.
WOW! A name from American History. And so RED!
Very pretty. I would have never thought it was lichen.
