Do you think that might be heritage lichen?

That's going to grow into a hell of a boss by the time The Last of Us 3 happens.

I've seen lichen like this on cars in my neighbourhood which are permanently parked in the shade. One's parked under a tree on the lawn of a house around the corner from me. Mr P says he knows the family, and that the car has rarely moved in 20 or 30 years.

okay lemmy is turning the gif into a jpeg when I upload it but you know what I think it's kinda funnier like this so I'm not gonna try and fix it

Lichens can survive in space. So everything outside that doesn't get cleaned enough is potential lichen habitat.

Does a car collect barnacles if you never wash it, or rather if you wash it constantly?
