lichen? bacteria? fungus?
I was scrolling fb and saw this post in a group I’m in. I saw a few comments calling it “The Mother” but I’m still unsure of what that even is. Is it a bacteria? Mold? Fungus?

Lichen?
I bought a plant that’s in rough condition yesterday and I found these green bits in the soil, is it lichen? Is it harmful? If not is there any way to keep it alive?

Added a bit of creative lighting on this one.
One green light, one pink. The stick was just under 2cm in diameter.

Will my lichen live? Will it spread?
I know next to nothing about lichen. We have a bright orange lichen that looks almost painted onto rocks. I scraped some & it came off like powder. I sprinkled the powder around in center. Is there any chance it’ll grow?

Lichen refuge in a bigger picture
A pocket of green in a burnt gnarl of jack-pine. The birches make pallisades in places: wilting heat-soaks to become flash-over fire suppression. In any case, the river cools the rocks in it's flow, like my feet, after sawing a breach through the potcullis that fell across our way in the fire. I ate the fireweed and my muscles burned less, relentless as that way was, I left a tree for the squirrels to easily go about their planting again; always with the watchful lichens growing undisturbed, through fire and flood.
