Liverwort, growing gemma cups, with fruticose Lichen, Yaugher, Victoria, Australia
The gemmae (a mass of cells, that detaches from the parent and develops  into a new individual) are dispersed when raindrops hit the  gemma cups. This is a form of asexual reproduction that is common  amongst Bryophyte plants, like liverworts and mosses.
