Lichen

I see Vulpicida canadensis, Cladonia sp., Parmeliopsis sp., not sure what that sort of brown patch could be.

i don't know what it is, just that it brings me joy

edit: it's a misidentified moss. 34 years old and still learning new things everyday

Love to look at branches with lots of lichens on them because there's always more variety than you think. I'm not great with ID but I see the Vulpicida, Parmelia, Bryoria, Tuckermanopsis (or something that looks like it), Usnea, possibly 3 species of Lecanora or something similar. For the Lecanora-like ones I see white-rimmed apothecia on the branch running down my palm, also seeing just black apothecia down the branch from that. Harder to see, but there is a group of brown-orange apothecia between the 2 large Vulpicida colonies. Did I miss anything?

This photo is from a few weeks back. Some species in the Russula genus.

Location: Midwest USA

The green crust beneath the fruitbody is the vegetative part of the lichen.

Found this lichen in Spain, in the Sierra de Guadarrama. It might be felt lichen Peltigera malacea, but I am not sure.

When I took this photo it was not obvious to me that this was a lichen. I actually thought it was some type of Hornwort.

Another handy use for condoms.

Looks like burred horsehair, boreal oakmoss, and common greenshield lichens.

Always fascinated by lichen, I took some pics over the years. Glad I found a community to share them with!

This one is taken with a children’s loupe & a shitty phone camera.
