Deeply grooved Oak tree bark with blue-green lichen, photography.

Lichen is a type of fungi and algae and comes in many colors like blue-green color shown here. The lichen in this photo is called Parmelia Sulcata, and it grows as thin and flaky patches that hug the bark of the tree tightly. Common names for this lichen are waxpaper lichen, net-marked Parmelia, shield lichen or hammered crottle. In addition to being beautiful, lichen is not destructive to the trees it grows on and provides food for wildlife.

Various lichens growing on someone's mailbox nearby. The colours have come out much better than I was expecting. I think I'll have to go back and get some more pics...

I like the one with the black tassels around the edge! And the orange one that looks like flames...

Closeup of different lichens growing on wooden surface. Grey & blobby, or grey and flaky with black tassels, grey with suckers on like an octopuses' arms, white-grey and stringy like the roots of a plant, bright orange and tiny - there's so much to look at (it's actually a lot more interesting than it sounds, with many of them being grey. The textures and shades are all different, with different shapes and growth habits)

I'd like to preserve some #lichen and bought a bottle of glycerine.
Does anyone know what ratio of glycerine to water I need to use?
I've seen different ratios, some even using alcohol and acetone instead of water. 🤨
Does the lichen have to be dry or fresh?

Yesterday, as soon as the sun went down and I could turn off all the lights to reduce glare, I brought out the tripod and did a better photo exploration of the terrorarium with the new moss from haunted Cherry street.

Morty the orange mock tomato frog, mottled like the color of changing autumn leaves, with a sable brown stripe running from her golden eyes down along her sides, at the edge of her little grey plastic stone pool, at the edge of her haunted cave. The front edge has lush green moss, a young wild violet, and some shaggy moss by a landscaping stone from a murder mansion in Staten Island.

A close up of the lichen covered bridge over her cave. Another violet and more moss are in the foreground, then scraps of bark fallen after a storm are stacked so their lichens can see the light. The bridge covers a coffee can that props it up on the other side. I drop pillbugs into the coffee can, where there is litter for them and a few holes with stick bridges for them to come and go through the substrate.

A closer look at the lichens and moss over the coffee can. The bark gives them a place to hide, but Morty is such a hungry booger that she gets most of them fairly quickly. I have to keep their colony elsewhere, the hide just keeps her from pigging out and getting a tummy ache. Like a froggy slow feeder.

Another angle of the slope going into her cave, where I have riverstones holding back the substrate the moss grows on. She likes to dig, but thankfully I have more moss in other containers in case she tears this up. One bowl will specifically hold moss from Cherry street, where the wild west saloons supposedly filled the street with ghosts. That's two haunted places collected in the terrorarium. More will be added, eventually.

I have been searching for it for quite some time, and yesterday we were lucky: Tree Lungwort (Lobaria pulmonaria). Our largest leafy lichen, growing high up on an old Sugar Maple.
I'll have to go back after a rain when it is bright green!

It is a drizzly, fantastic day. I explored the supposedly haunted Cherry Street (where the wild west saloons used to be, Cherry was a reference to the ladies, supposedly many spirits from the era have been seen). My goal was moss for the terrorarium. Ages ago I stole some rocks from a murder mansion in Staten Island to use in her cave, so it's haunted. Anyway, look at how that pops so wonderfully with her color!

I love a lichen covered boulder. They make me think of old maps & I love old maps too.

Anyhow, managed to get a photo of an elusive lichen cartographer.

A photo of a stone with round blobs of brown and white lichen on it, many with dark borders. I have added a simple drawn figure with a paintbrush, finishing writing Here Be Dragons in a florid script on the largest pale blob. There are some mountains sketched below the text. There is a pale blue wash over a stone area, with lines to suggest waves, and there is a pot of paintbrushes behind the figure.

I know nothing about moss and lichen but I'm happy to be enlightened as to what is pictured so I can research it a bit more.

One of the smallest Cladonia lichens I have ever found, even the fruiting bodies with their red apothecia are no larger than 2 mm.
But there are even tinier fruiting bodies on this lichen, they are called pycnidia.
You can see them in the macro photos, took these photos to identify the lichen but I'm not done yet.

A Cladonia lichen with many tiny green leaves (squamules) and tiny fruiting bodies (red apothecia on white podetia) grows on a rotten tree base.
To the right of two fruiting bodies 4 tiny pycnidia can be seen.

Four macro photos of the pycnidia
The pycnidia are dark brown-black and have a reddish jelly at their opening.
They are approximately 0.2mm x 0.3mm in size

A few days ago I found this particularly beautiful lichen for the first time, rare in our area.
This lichen belongs to a special group of difficult to identify Cladonia lichens. I think it's the Cladonia coccifera, formerly known under the common name Eastern Boreal Pixie Cup lichen.
Apparently, according to iNaturalist.org, this lichen has now been renamed "Madame's Cup Lichen". Why? 🤷‍♂️

Although soil invertebrates have my heart, I simply can't resist photographing lichens too.

The next time you walk past a lichen-covered tree, stop and take a moment to appreciate how beautiful these fungal-algal composite organisms can be!
