Usnea, Tree Moss, Old Man's Beard or Lichen on branches
Usnea is a common and scientific name for several species of lichen in the family Parmeliaceae, that generally grow hanging from tree branches, resembling grey or greenish hair. It is sometimes referred to as Old Man's Beard, Beard Lichen, or Treemoss. Usnea looks very similar to Spanish moss, so much so that the moss's Latin name is derived from it. Usnea grows in damp forests all over the world.
