Welcome to Project Noah amaiannalba! Beautiful photo. These, like all lichens, are categorized under the Fungi category on the site. Lichens are actually composite organisms composed of fungi and a photosynthetic partner (algae or cyanobacteria)! We encourage all users to include your own personal observations about where you found this organism in the habitat field, as well as any observations you may have in the description. More info about creating spottings and the "rules" of the site can be found here: https://www.projectnoah.org/faq I look forward to seeing more great spottings from you!
