This little furry looking lichen is called usnea. You can find it growing on trees and branches that have fallen in your yard. It can be used to make tinctures that have antibiotic and antifungal properties. It has also been packed directly into wounds because it helps keep infections away. Keep your eyes open for this guy if you're foraging because he's definitely a plant you want to have in your alternative medicine arsenal.
