Graphis sp. lichen - one of my favorites! Oregon coast

Usnea cornuta from Westport, WA

Lichen of the week - Lobaria anthrapsis found near Westport, Washington

Lichen for today- Xanthoria parietina, a favorite. Very common, can be used for dyeing wool and silk.

Little one on top is Usnea genus, below is Flavoparmelia genus. Love them! And lichen abundance is usually a sign of good air quality!

My first post! And my posts are going to be about lichens. Because they are amazing and I love them! This is Dimelaena oreina, moonglow lichen. A tiny sample highly magnified, from Ft Adams, RI
