Look at these on a foggy mountain top in Maine.
No, no not the people, the lichens on the rocks.

Here's a closer look!

Same kind of thing can be found on a big old rock on a South Dakota prairie waiting for a buffalo round up to happen.

I did not know that! Interesting history - and could be useful!
Yeah, the young man explaining about how his ancestors use these things said anymore they just use matches or a butane lighter.

Jimson Weed
Cockle Burr
Apples on the forest floor from a 'wild' tree.
Bracket fungi on fallen limb
People sneak in to fish in my pond and then decorate the woods. Ugly, so I abstracted it a bit.
Lots of sandstone rock on the forest floor in the Appalachian Mountains.
... fallen trees!

A few years back I had taken the first shot of the growth on one of dad's trees in Missouri. The second one was taken in AK last month and I learned that the Atabaskan culture made use of it to carry fire from one camp site to the next. They would hollow out the middle. Place the live coals and embers from the camp they were leaving in the hollowed out "Punk" fungus. Place it in a hide pouch to carry to the next camp site to start the next camp fire.
Yup! You do need to keep learning!!

Your first photo is Devil's Club. If you grab the stem, you will know why. Biggest thorns I have seen. However, the locals use the plant in a cream that relieves pain. Check Silverbear Sundries (http://www.silverbearsundries.com/index.html)
