Lots of moulds on this table, which has been in the weather for many years. I am unclear about what features (beyond colour), differentiate one mould from another. So these few ‘mould sightings’ (4647245, 4647246, 4647264, 4647449 & 4647452), could include duplications, or be totally different. I’m looking to learn! For this faintly green-white mould, (perhaps it’s a close mixing of 2 moulds?), the 1st photo is to provide context. The 2nd & 3rd photos are close-ups. All were taken when it had been hot & dry for at least a week.

You have a mix of lichen species on this table - and perhaps some moss or liverwort as well.

Thanks @Heinol, that broadens the range some! I'm not at all familiar with Liverworts, so probably wouldn't recognize one. Another rabbit hole to duck down for moi!
