@Viv - I think this is the same that grows on the spruce ;) @Jeannette - Du får si ifra hvis du finner ut noe ;)

Kommer i tanke om, at jeg måske så det i Finland. Jeg har prøvet at google uden resultat. Jeg vil prøve at kigge mine billeder fra Finland igennem senere :)

The strange thing is that this grown on a birch, but when i google it says that this kind of lichen grows on spruce. So I'm kinda stuck on this, not sure what this is.
