Most Common Mushrooms

1. Common orange lichen
Common orange lichen was selected in 2006 by the United States Department of Energy as a model for genomic sequencing. Its widespread dispersal and bright yellow-orange color give the lichen its common name. It is primarily found growing on rocks, walls, and tree bark.

2. Hammered shield lichen
Hammered shield lichen is noted for its pollution tolerance. It is a widespread grey flat lichen that is mostly found upon tree bark and occasionally rocks. Hammered shield lichen is named for the depressions within the lobe which give it a hammered appearance.

3. Red-belted conk
This bracket or shelf fungus grows for years on both living and dead conifer trees. Its annual growth creates distinctive rings or ridges, with a bright red or orange band separating the old layers from the current growth. Red-belted conk is only a danger to living trees if it colonizes a very deep cut or broken top.

4. Whitewash lichen
Whitewash lichen is most commonly found growing on trees, especially hardwoods that are in well-lit areas. Its color usually begins a bright green-white that turns to a dull brown-grey. When fresh, it spreads out smoothly over trees as though coating them in white paint.

5. Oakmoss
Evernia prunastri grows shrubby on trees. The yellow-green lichen grows up to 10 cm. It consists of up to five millimeters wide shrubby branched bands with a light underside. At the edges of these open dusty (Sorale). Apothecias (with shiny brown disc) are rarely formed.
![Tinder fungus](/wiki-image/1080/153415471645851690.jpeg)
6. Tinder fungus
This large, tough shelf fungus can be found attached to birch, beech, and sycamore trees. It gets its common name, tinder fungus, from the fact that it burns quite slowly and can thus be used effectively for lighting fires. Dried pieces can also be a useful desiccant. A piece of this fungus was found in the possession of Otzi the Iceman, indicating that its usefulness has been known for millenia.
![Cartilage lichen](/wiki-image/1080/154094140903129094.jpeg)
7. Cartilage lichen
Trumpet branch moss is attached to the bark, usually on the sun side, of the tree with a central foot. The flattened, hollow, striped, irregularly shaped lobes are 2 - 3 cm long. The thalli are gray or, when wet, green and covered with small light spots (fenestrae = small windows). The top and bottom have the same color. They have no sorals.
![Farinose cartilage lichen](/wiki-image/1080/153349586847531048.jpeg)
8. Farinose cartilage lichen
Farinose cartilage lichen has a bushy appearance and is easy to identify by its long, slender branches. The reproductive structures are often scattered on the fungi. The lichen thrives in warm moist, mixed forests, forming on second-growth trees and shrubs.
![Split gill](/wiki-image/1080/152375067358003202.jpeg)
9. Split gill
Split gill(Schizophyllum commune) can be found across the globe. Uniquely, it is the only mushroom species known to display the capability to retract by movement. It is considered inedible, although not necessarily toxic. Furthermore, it is not recommended to smell this species, as the spores are capable of sprouting and growing in nasal passages.

10. Tree moss
Pseudevernia furfuracea is associated with photobionts from the green algae genus Trebouxia. It reproduces asexually by isidia. The ontogeny of isidia development and its role in CO2 gas exchange in P. furfuracea has been investigated. The preferred growing surfaces for P. furfuracea are the so-called "nutrient poor" bark trees, including birch, pine and spruce. The species has two morphologically identical varieties that are distinguished by the secondary metabolites they produce: var. ceratea Zopf. produces olivetoric acid and other physodic acids, while var. furfuracea produces physodic but not olivetoric acid. Some authors (e.g., Hale 1968) have separated the chemotypes at the species level, designating the olivetoric acid-containing specimens as Pseudevernia olivetorina, but more recent literature separates them at the varietal level.
