Liquenized.
#crushmash I don't know his name, I was very curious after seeing the beautiful publications of @Marc By Bisschop and @Madeleine of your beautiful publications and I wanted to show you about these beautiful images captured in the bay.
Do some research, to give more to this contribution.
Lichenized fungi, as they are formally called, are the specific interaction between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism that can be an algae or cyanobacteria forming a stable body. This marriage that occurs is inseparable. These two organisms help each other so efficiently that the union can only be conceived after many years of parallel evolution. Many even say that the first mushrooms on the face of the earth were lichenized. Several lost their partner and they are the free mushrooms we know today. But they left an important legacy, as they are the first to colonize the mainland and to help the production of oxygen in conjunction with the plants that subsequently appeared to create the oxygenated atmosphere that gives us life. You can usually see them with the naked eye but if you have a good camera or a good zoom you will surely distinguish more beauty from its color and shapes.

It's NOT the hashtag #korstmos but DO the hashtag #zwamenschimmels you should use.
These fungi are also not included in the lichen category or as you note it as Lichenized fungi.
At first glance and the shape of how they grow, the colour and the group shape, I can say that the Schizophyllum commune is.
A little more information can be found on Wikipedia, but I would like to take over this text if you link naming or attribution to the text:
Schizophyllum commune is a cosmopolitan. This means it can be found worldwide except on the poles. The grey-white shell-shaped fan is approximately one to six inches wide and can be found all year round. The top is finely felt hairy. In drought, the Waaiertje scrambles together to stretch again in humid conditions. The slats that are grouped together in pairs, face unfavourable growth conditions to protect traces and trace development. If the growth conditions become favourable afterwards, the lamellas will break up again and the development and spread of the tracks can continue again. These properties allow the Waaiertje to face major climatic fluctuations. Because the Waaiertje is also known for being found on a wide range of exotic woods, it is a cosmopolite in optima forma. There are even known cases where people with a greatly reduced immune system were infected by the Waaiertje.
Against the negative reputation mentioned there is also a very positive one. The Waaiertje is grown in large to extract the polysaccharide Schizophyllan. Schizophyllan is a medicinal component in the treatment of cervical cancer. The Waaiertje also contains the substance Hydrophobin with strong water-repellent properties. Hydrophobin is extracted for various industrial and medical applications. For example, it is used in waterproof sterilization paper and makes all kinds of surfaces water-repellent, important in certain technical devices. In short, the Waaiertje is a mushroom to take into account!
I would like to add an important note, in order to identify fungi or fungi, several things play a role: the site is very important, the environment, the size, the underside in order to determine. Macro photography or close-up can also be of use. And maybe also very easy to use, a pocket mirror or cosmetic mirror that you can use to see the bottom of the fungus without having to lie down on the stomach.
Good luck, and I think it's very special that you also learn how to discover nature in this way.
