File:Flavoparmelia caperata - lichen - Caperatflechte.jpg
Summary
Flavoparmelia caperata (lichen), Hesse, Germany. The specimen had a size of a two Euro coin. Lichens are interesting life forms: fungi hold algae captive in a way, that their relationship is in-between a symbiosis and purely parasitic, also described as controlled parasitism.
The lichen species was kindly assigned by Prof. Volkmar Wirth (cf. "Farbatlas Flechten und Moose" by Volkmar Wirth and Ruprecht Düll, Eugen Ullmer GmbH, 2000, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/3800135175" class="internal mw-magiclink-isbn">ISBN 3-8001-3517-5</a>). Please contact me, if you think that it is a different species.
