A stickpin or whisker lichen growing with another lichen

This stickpin (in the red circles) is growing with or from what is probably a species of Lecanora on a small Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) along the wetland/upland edge. The site is somewhat open and receives sunlight for about half of the day in the afternoon.

  It wasn't until I accidentally discovered these fungi/lichens on a pine stump while taking photos of ant and grub tunnels that I even knew these existed. Now I'm seeing them everywhere. There are many species from what I've read but determining them is a bit difficult. Posted 6 years ago
