Pensive kato on mossy sidewalk

I see a mossy mix of textures, colors, etc. this is what ChatGPT sees: “.mixed bryophyte and lichen community featuring broom moss (Dicranum scoparium), cypress-leaved plait moss (Hypnum cupressiforme), and a colony of pixie cup lichen (Cladonia chlorophaea complex) with podetia and apothecial cups”

No moss today. Just this sweet little muffin.

And we just happened upon this cute mossy bench with an owl petroglyph embedded in it. Happy Friday, everyone!

Happy Friday! This guy’s just starting to get some moss between the toes. Check back in a month or so!

Mary Battersby (fl. 1801–1841) was an Irish artist and naturalist.
The Royal Dublin Society received four volumes of her drawings and a letter. Another two volumes are in the Ulster Museum. A small album is also in the collections of the National Library of Ireland.

#mossmonday Now for your moment of zen.

#mossmonday and the fun Dr. Seuss inspired tubes/horns are a type of lichen. According to ChatGPT “the gray tube-like things are Cladonia cup lichens (pixie cups) — most likely Cladonia fimbriata or a close relative.”

Mossy wall with Kato. The rain is finally starting again and the moss is perking up!
