Cladonia sp.

The complex looked like a city of skyscrapers along the ridge, with scattered houses and maybe farms along the lower slopes. The towers had a central pole and then a flat, spread-out top. Might this be the home of the Lilliputians? Only a few inches in diameter, the rotting log was covered with a light yellow-green species of Cladonia, a genus of lichens with hundreds of species in the Pacific Northwest.
