If you are in MO, MI or CA there is a project to catalog all of the fungi in your area.

It's a citizen science opportunity and I wish I could do it in NY!

Oh I didn't understand. I can do it in NY, everyone in NA can participate in this event:

Some nice lichen clumps on this fallen branch I found. I really like the one at the bottom that looks like green cauliflower...

A fallen branch lies on some grass. It has clumps of different types of lichen growing on it - a thick, bushy grey-green variety, a more open branching one that's a little greyer, a flat lobed blue-green type, a greenish one that looks like a cauliflower head, and some dustings of yellow, green and grey blobby species

    Hi, I’m Val. Welcome to my new backup account! I’m here for the photos: to share mine and to admire yours. Mostly of nature: flowers, insects (with content warning for all except butterflies that don’t seem to creep people out), my dog, the sky,... I’ll post here regularly but not too frequently. Kind of a ValLite™️ account.
    You can also find me at: @dillyd (ValDeluxe™️)

    Some of the hashtags I post to most often:

    🍄🍄 It has been a while since I posted some mushrooms!

    Here is a cool looking cluster! Does anyone know what kind this is? 🤓

    & growing off a tree. Lichen looks like hammered shield lichen but I'm not totally sure. I don't know what type of mosses these are. There's lots of fallen, tiny, soap berry petals on them.

    Getting distracted by lichen now. I'd forgotten how excellent this spot was; really need to head back. Maybe I'll find out what this one saw that disturbed them so much.

    A while back, the parish council in the village I grew up in decided to get some nice signage. They had an artist lined up, but one of the blokes on the council said he knew a guy who could do it on the cheap.

    Anyhow, 25 years later and we still have this Children of the Stones nightmare fuel welcoming people to my apparently haunted childhood home.

    One of those "welcome to..." sign boards they put up at the entrances to English villages. This one features some country bumpkins in Merrie English Dress dancing around a maypole, with the church in the background. Their faces are blank, expressionless, and in some cases, featureless. Their movement somehow both too much and too wooden. It is mostly girls, because heteronormativity, but one of the few guys is thrusting his hips forward like his dick has overtaken his central nervous system and is pulling him forward. It is cursed. It is haunted. Incidentally, it is an accurate rendition of the village church.

    Anyway, I'm visiting my mum and dad, and it's pretty. Extended #SilentSunday, I guess, with a touch of #LichenSubscribe

    Who had that mighty arm? That split the stone, pulled loose the blade? For on a rocky shore a crack describes this feat of strength.

    The lichen split the rock, my lord, & made young soils from the stone.

    And where now is that blade? In Lichen’s hand, our future king? Where now lives the hero who the ancient rocks must fear?

    Seek the crustose crown of ivory foam, the fruticose tendrils ring the dome— in golds & greens: a regal mold.

    Landscape, orientation, close-up color, photo from directly above the ground magnifying, various types of lichen and moss that make up the forest floor. There are redcoat lichen, some sort of purple spiked flower, a yellow and brown leaf, a light red leaf, and some sort of green succulent on the right side. Green Pine-needle spheres grow mainly lower frame, but there's a bunch of them. It's a cornucopia of colors.

    and a few more highlights from recent hike for since folks seem to enjoy those, 2/2 🙂 the "grosser" ones here >_>

    three tiny mushroom caps growing from a very degraded portion of a fallen log, with a suspiciously "don't eat me" aura, light gold with tons of dark brown speckles across the tops
    a close-up of a white fungus with dozens of drops of (water? sap?) extruding from its surface, some reflecting the scene around them, some focusing light like a magnifying glass, some suspending solid materials, some of various colors
    a slime mold of some sort spreading across the surface of a downed log, looking like tiny white sea anemones or perhaps baby coral

    The other half is gearing up to revive her YouTube channel. It was started in 2008 with short clips of the plants she lovingly tended in her garden. She was into her “third season” when a bushfire came through in 2011 and much of the garden was engulfed by the flames. The bushfire became her last video uploads.

    Now, over a decade later, and Cilla is finally picking up her passion again, and plans to return to Cilla’s Garden. She’s currently doing time lapse videos of the cleanup. The gardens and pathways are all overgrown and she’s been inspired by lawn mowing time lapse videos of people cleaning up overgrown yards.

    For gardening, weird plants, or just to follow “The New Adventures of Cilla’s Garden” when she begins uploading again, give Cilla a #LichenSubscribe!

    Some lichen finds, plus (what I think might be) a slime mould

    • Various crustose species on the back of a gravestone
    • Slime mould (?) that appeared within a few minutes of wetting this old gate beam
    • Patterns on lichen on an old wooden seat
    • A cladonia species growing amongst moss on an old wooden fence

    #LichenSubscribe #Lichen #SlimeMold #MacroPhotography #Macro #Nature #NaturePhotography

    Raised orange globs that appear out from between the fibres of an old piece of wood whenever it got wet
    Patterns of a few different types of lichen that look like interlocking fingers. Colours are white with raised grey-green grains, grey with raised darker-grey grains, and brown
    What looks like a clump of many-branched coral but which is actually a grey-green lichen that stands out from an old fence beam. It is surrounded by pale green moss, with a few tufts of smaller lichen below it

    A peek through the bird blind at Goodwin. No birds to be seen, but I did get a great view of some gorgeous lichen.
