An arched, lichen-covered twig in a tree. Most of the lichen is a bright yellow sunburst lichen, with its little alien-like disc shapes all up and down the twig. There is also a tuft of pale sea-green oakmoss or cartilage lichen at the top of the arch.

I have not forgotten that it’s #HotStickSaturday. Here’s a lively bit in a twig in the sun after a rain. #Lichen #LichenSubscribe #Fungi #FungiFriends #Trees #Macro #Nature #Photography #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepLooking

Photo of a light grey lichen growing on yellowish rock. The lichen is roundish and of a mound shape. The main body is comprised of convoluted folds and branches. Round discs of varying sizes (called apothecia) cover about 50% of the lichen.

Punctelia, possibly P. subrudecta {Powdered Speckled Shield #Lichen}; not very well visible here, but some of the lobes were densely covered by laminal pycnidia

Lecania inundata on terracotta pot. 'Nationally scarce' but really just part of confusing #lichen group usually recorded pragmatically as 'L erysibe sens lat'. Easily mistaken for L erysibe, but lacks blastidia (type of vegetative propagule) and has slightly larger spores. Bungay, Suffolk, England.

The #crabapple #tree needed a bit of a pruning today. I was focused for most of the project! 😂 This #Robin came along to remind us that there were a few good apples left! #SmallBirdSaturday #HotStickSaturday #Lichen #Tardigrades #TreeLove #VT

Several tall green cladonia lichen with granular looking stems terminating in cups. Some cups have a blob of rainwater in the cup. A few sprigs of moss at the base

Close-up of a bark-growing crustose lichen, likely Lecanora chlarotera, on reddish-brown tree bark. The lichen thallus is covered by many olive-grey cup-like apothecia with pale rims; several in them show conspicuous rusty orange-red discoloration

Lecanora, possibly Lecanora chlarotera {Dusted White-Rim #Lichen} It's all picturesque & stuff, but some of the apothecia seem to be affected (infected?) and show orange-red stains and discoloration, perhaps caused by a lichenicolous fungus

CELEBRATING NATURE

Moss & sunburst lichen so intertwined, I wonder whether these are in a relationship after all.

It even looks as if the lichen mimics the moss’s green.

Other lichen species are close, too.

Worlds upon worlds.

Photo of an orange lichen growing the length of a crack/crevice in a rock surface. The rock is a pink/rose colour. The lichen is ribbon-like in shape. The centre of the ribbon has a sugary look to it (hence the name). The outside of the ribbon consists of tightly packed branches radiating out from the sugary middle of the lichen.

地衣類の観察会へ

地衣類を初めて剥ぎ取ったのですが、すぐポロンと剥がれたので、やっぱり木に根付いてる訳ではないんだなと実感。。。
そして剥ぎ取ったものを試薬を使用し呈色反応を観察
地衣成分を調べないと同定は言い切れなく難しいことなんだと改めて理解しました。。。
んーーー難ムズ難ムズですが、、
菌類はバナナより人間に近いから〜と始めの説明を思い出し、ん〜知りたいことは楽しも〜♪

Cladonia; *they say*, it could be C. gracilis {aka Smooth Horn #Lichen}, though it could as well be C. ramulosa. Or C. somethingelse

A Thekla's lark is perched on a rock covered in green lichen and is looking to the right. It has brown plumage and a white belly. Its short crest is standing upright.  The background is green with a bokeh effect

It's time for #SmallbirdSaturday

This little Thekla's lark is the one I’ve chosen. 🪶

It also has a few grey feathers which is why it’s also fits with #BirdofTheDay #Greyday 😁✌️

青空と木。木におばけみたいに垂れ下がる綺麗な薄緑色の地衣類。

この、おばけみたいに垂れ下がっている綺麗なこも地衣類らしい。

地衣類、菌類と藻類が共生して一つの体になった複合生物ということだけど、垂れ下がり系のこは地衣類なのか、藻類のみの可能性もあるのかよく理解できてない。。

最近地衣類を知ったので、地衣類見つけるとおお!ここにも地衣類!💡となんだか嬉しくなる

Looking up a green, foggy, scraggly, evergreen-tree-covered hill into the whitish, overcast sky. The tree trunks are thickly covered in mosses and lichens. Somewhere in the Oregon Coast Range.

Acid green big soft moss tufts and grey reindeer lichen (Cladonia) mounds protrude from a darker green moss and lichen patchwork coating the cliff face, with a few liverworts, invasive grasses, and quite a few red leaved Herb Roberts (the invasive european geranium) barging in. There is also a villainous himalayan blackberry shoot in the middle right side that stabbed me with its prickle as I sidled up the scree at the base of the cliff to take this photo.

Moss tussocks with reindeer lichen on a cliff. In the summer the south facing bluff is xeric and bakes in the sun and wind, but right now the stone seeps with water from the forest slope above, and swells with rain as the atmospheric rivers roll through.
