Hello. There seems to be another surge of new followers recently so let me re-introduce myself. I am a nature lover living in beautiful Nagano, Japan. Bilingual in English & Japanese. I take photos of lichens, bugs, and plants, and post them on bluesky.

Found a striking #lichen on a large decaying tree trunk in moist coniferous forest canyon. In dry conditions thallus is a bright pale green patch with pale pink apothecia. With rainfall/moisture the thallus becomes deeper green and apothecia orangish. Fairly common w. Montana.

Vezdaea leprosa #lichen - I think. At least it looks like the specimen I was shown on the last course by HB.

Shriveled up fruit of matatabi (Actinidia polygama) still on the vine. I didn’t see too many fruits despite the abundance of flowers, but the fruits were just hiding behind the leaves. I tasted the fruit, and it was sweet & tart. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Plants #Botany
