dry branches covered with lichen and moss

This is a dry branch covered with lichen and moss. It is not a single organism in itself, but a natural object composed of multiple elements and organisms. Lichens and mosses themselves do not harm healthy trees, they just use the bark as a stable attachment point to collect sunlight and rain. Their presence usually indicates that the branch has died or aged, as they prefer to grow on sunny, slow-growing surfaces.
