Parasites, but don't they look great!
The trees in Florida and in the swamops are full of hanhing plants that look like thse. Some are Spanish moss which are very difficult to control making the trees look tired. What are these?
EEEEEK! I did a closeup of each. Are they fungi? Oh I have goose bumps!
Heehee Ces!!! There is fungi on the branches. Some 75 species of mistletoe parasites occur in Australia but this looks like another aerial parasitic plant! It is a mossy looking fernery thing. We simply call them "bird nest"!
There is fungus amongus!
Hhheheheee, I had better get fungal spray to dissolve you away Tony! HAHAHAA!!
Ditto on the Spanish moss comment. Southerners are proud when it grows long and hangs from the trees. The apolstery of early cars was actually stuffed with Spanish moss:)
Oooh, very interesting Marie Reed! We have Spag Moss or Sphagnum Moss but that's used to keep moisture in pot plants or soil on the ground. They wouldn't have wanted a water leak into those earlier cars!
Gday Anon.Love the pics of the trees with Fungi . I think the other looks like A Tillandsia, bearded lichen (Air plants) or old mans beard when its very dry and grey...
Gidday Jeanette! Thankyou for that information! We have a Tillansia down the backyard which looks like an old man's beard :) I followed your 'beared linchin' idea and found the plant! A fruticose Lichen (Usnea sp.) which is bushy and branching. A native to Australia, found in wetter areas - that's it! Thanks!!
Your photographs have brought useful fungi comments.
Great shots.
GOOD Luiz Ramos! I like it when the comments are useful :)) Thanks!
WOW! These are gorgeous too, I wonder how I missed them.
They do look good Mary Stebbins Taitt, and I'm so glad they are native!
