The melting snow means Cladonia lichens are back in their modest protubering elegance. Take, for example, the simple class of (I think) Cladonia cornuta, or "Bighorn lichen." 150 Mile House, BC 🌿 #fungifriends

#lichenGBI Second time I’ve found the #lichenicolous #fungifriends Lichenochora galligena on Physcia adscendens. This time from North Somerset. On a fallen Ash twig in Midsomer Norton.

How about the specimen of Sphaerophorus! I am learning towards S. venerabilis, but you can set us straight. It's from Mary's Peak in the Coastal Range of Oregon.

Any image editing experts here? Colour variation is partially due to moisture and does not really bother me so much. But the variation in brightness annoys me. Any ideas how to tackle this? Histogram equalisation did not help much. Any suggestions are welcome! #ImageJ

#lichenGBI #Lichenicolous #fungifriends Illosporium carneum. Noticed and identified by Neil Sanderson while identifying a mature Peltigera didactyla (without soredia) for me. From the track verge to an ex-sand/gravel pit nature reserve in Warwickshire.

A few nice things from Holkham dunes today - Physcia aipolia on a fence rail, Ramalina fastigiata, Mollisia sp (ascomycete fungus) on dead pine, and Peltigera canina. What an amazing place for lichens/ fungi…

Lichenfall from the old horse chestnut trees. The variety never ceases to amaze me. I wonder how much of this variety is influnced by being a 5 min walk to the ocean and frequently wreathed in its mists? #lichen #lichenfriends #salishsea

I am happy to share that I will be teaching a field-based plant identification course near Portland, OR, this season. We will meet at different wildflower hotspots monthly throughout the spring-summer season. Join us! jesseedmiller.com/plant-identification-in-the-pacific-northwest

One way to describe the pic is 'Ramalina #Lichen' (probably R. farinacea, though to be precise it's mixed with Xanthoria parietina). But here's the classic figure/background dilemma: the massive yellow glow comes from another lichen, Candelaria concolor (called Candleflame #Lichen for a reason)

Currently in New Zealand and blown away by the lichen assemblages here. Many familiar genera, but new species to me and boy are those macrolichens BIG. Here are Sticta latifrons, Yarrumia colensoi, and Stereocaulon ramulosum from the Mt Aspiring national park.

There was a nice range of acid bark lichens in the sunshine at Borrowdale yesterday. Including Bryoria fuscescens, Sphaerophorus globosus and Ochrolechia tartarea.

So here is a recently observed specimen from Crater Lake National Park here in Oregon. Anyone want to put a name to it? I don't think this will be too hard. The Genus should be easy. And by the way, you gotta love your parks! #lichens #lichenologists #NPS #NationalParks

Lungwort (Lobaria pulmonaria) is large #lichen that can be seen in winter even with snow covered ground. Lung-like in form. Found in Pacific Northwest, upper Midwest, Appalachians and Northeast. Look for it on moss covered rock in shaded mature forest (Brodo, Sharnoff, Sharnoff 2001).

On birch bark at Kelling Heath - Normandina pulchella, Jamesiella anastomosans, Fuscidea lightfootii. And a fruiting Hypotrachyna, maybe afrorevoluta.

Astounding! Potentially new symbiotic life-form discovered in Taiwan cloud forest. Sort-of 'inverted lichen': cyanobacterium creates thallus and fungus lives within it. Cyanobacterium provides nutriment via photosynthesis. Fungus (perhaps) provides structural reinforcement and dessication tolerance.

More photography fun, some lichen from a recent outing. Lichen are so neat, and I know nothing about them besides that they are symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an algae. They're also usually good air quality indicators. #lichen ##macrophotography #macro #nature #photography

I forgot to share my lichen sketchbook page - painted from branches gifted by Storm Darragh. The storm was rough but painting the lichens created some calm afterwards. That right angled branch fit perfectly into the page corner - not what I expected from nature but then nothing ever is. #sketchbook

This is a #lichen of the Pleosidium genus. Vitt, Marsh and Bovey (1988) feel "perhaps it is one of our most colorful crustose lichen".
