How many different lichens are growing here?

Found in the Pidgeon River Country Forest in Michigan. The tree stump was not totally rotted out and it may be from a hardwood.

I’m new to lichen hunting and thought this collection was interesting. Are these types of colonies common? I found a few others on this trip that were pretty vibrant.

Tried macro photography of this specimen today.

This was on the ground and found during a hike. I brought it home to photograph. The substrate is a pine cone.

I’ve been reading up on lichens the past few weeks and decided to take a trip to northern Michigan to back country camp and look for lichens. They were very plentiful in places.

I’m glad I took my camera with me. Now I just have to figure out what I captured.
