Trouvailles
from a walk in the park, a silvery lichen and a burst of colors, from a broken madrone tree

A silvery fruticose Evernia lichen species on a branch: the lichen is relatively large, and very branching. It is mostly a silvery gray color, with some powdery green fronds. The lichen is growing on a mossy branch. Everything is very moist and green due to the current weather.

A broken chunk of a large madrone (Arbutus menziesii) has fallen to the ground after a windstorm. The branch wood shows the richness of the madrone wood colors: to the right is a dark, almost black area (possibly disease damage) and then you can see the grainy wood flowing to the left, with shades ranging from a deep orange red heart to a pale tan at layer at the edges. There are a couple ofknots, with convolutions in the grain, like a swirl in a stream. The branch is resting on a bed of dead leaves.

Several large but unhealthy madrone trees fell this winter. The park rangers have been removing them from the trails, and cutting some down, but the litter usually gets left in place, providing shelter for critters and an insight into the decomposition process. It is untidy and sometimes jarring, but the parks department tries to follow nature as much as possible in the trail system. — A broken chunk of a large madrone (Arbutus menziesii) has fallen to the ground after a windstorm.

Mosses and lichens making good use of the space on a twig. I love the different textures and shades of green.

Beard and horsehair lichens thriving together in the dappeled light of one of my favorite forested hikes.

It's time for yet another ID attempt based on insufficient evidence~ (but sufficient enough to get to crack those guides).

Found 1200m high in Vercors (France) on a tree bordering a clearing, we have *possibly* here:

- Fruticose on the left: Ramalina... farinacea? But no flour aspect...
- Brown ones: Melanohalea something?
- Foliose grey: ... Too blurry, an even unsurer Parmelina?
- Moss: something Orthotrichum?

Assuming they are the same species, and I wouldn't bet on it, here's a closer look of the #moss and the brown parmelioid #lichen (a term cribbed from Wikipedia)

#SilentSunday I normally prefer my rocks without surface biota. But this boulder looks beautiful with its lichened sides and roof of moss. Met with last week, near Tir Fhearagain in the Ross of Mull.

A large grey boulder occupies most of the central part of the image, sitting in heathery and rocky moorland under a grey sky. The boulder has a striking green mossy top, and thickly mottled pale lichen patches on its sides.
