npub19yq2dcsn6lwqzhcve23rsknk0qusqj327ys78ers53c3k92amgfq7thtt6 (npub19yq…htt6) Nice. The yellow is usually a gold dust lichen, in the genus *Chrysothrix*. There are several species but a microscope is needed to separate them. The oranges are usually a *Trentepohlia* algae, which can optionally form associations with lichens and can also grow by itself when there's enough humidity (rocks on the West Coast are often covered in it).
