A special Cladonia lichen, the Rosette Pixie-cup lichen (Cladonia pocillum) on a rock face

The side view of the Rosette Pixie-cup lichen (Cladonia pocillum).
A rosette of large, almost upright leaves (squamules) of a Cladonia lichen grows on moss on a rock face.
The squamules are green-brown on the upper side and white o the underside.
A grey-brown, cup-shaped lichen structure (podetium) grows from these squamules.
Light brown pebbles can be seen inside and on the stem of the podetium.

Lots of gorgeous lichen at the Japanese Tea Gardens, here in San Francisco, today. And the wisteria is starting to bloom. It's lovely!

A large, flat, square rock in an herb garden wall where I volunteer.

A dark green moss covers part of a large square rock which is covered in green and pale green lichen. Looks like an aerial shot of a strange planet.

And some fun sandstone and conglomerate rocks covered in lichens. (3/3)

Large, rounded pebbles cemented in a red sandstone rock covered in greenish-gray lichen, creating a surface with lots of interesting, bumpy textures, with dappled sunshine on the rock.

A large cobble cemented in the side of a red sandstone rock, kinda looking like an egg — the cobble and rock covered in lots of greenish-gray lichen that looks like it has been sprayed on the rock’s surface.

More rounded pebbles and cobbles cemented in a red sandstone rock with patches of greenish-gray lichen — an interesting lumpy, bumpy surface.

Red sandstone rocks covered in mottled, splotchy lichens in different shades and textures of white, green, and black — looking somewhat alien and somewhat artistic as well.

@SacredColours Hashtags are so useful - you can read through posts that use them, and you can follow them like you would a person so that you never miss a, say, #Caturday post. Other hashtags I follow include #Mosstodon and #LichenSubscribe - click on a hashtag and enjoy!

The reason I and most other mastodon users use upper case letters in the hashtags is to make things easier for screen readers, the interface low- or no-sighted people have to the internet. That's also why people make a big deal about using ALT text for pictures. We do have a fair number of friends here who need that small bit of extra effort from us to enjoy a post as much as a fully sighted person.

My apologies for going off there! I wanted to explain the capital letters in the hashtags, which led into alt text, which ended up sounding like a rant. It's more that I'm a true believer than an HOA rep, lol. To make up for it, here's a picture of my cats being cute.

Two tabby cats, one fuzzy and one chubby, cuddle on a chunky knit gray blanket on a sofa. The fuzzy one points one ear at the camera as he decides where to bathe his companion next. The chubby one, who has a white bib and white chest, leans her head back to offer up her throat. Behind them are a packed shelving unit and a crowded coffee table.

@Heliograph Agreed! It really is adorable. @Nead invented it and it is my new favourite hashtag. It's up there with #Bloomscrolling and #LichenSubscribe for cleansing the timeline in these times.

Two photos from today's walk!

Loved the blue coloring on that #mossy rock, which marks the edge of a competing #lichen. Before I saw that, I thought it was just a blank space.

Moss and pale lichen grow on a large and gorgeous rock.

A flowering tree sports cheerful pale blossoms, looking painterly as fuck.

A little #ForestFloor vignette from yesterday afternoon. There is no fresh green here, yet, though Aspen and Willow catkins are bursting out and should soon be flowering, leaves and non-woody plants will follow..
Meantime #WildflowerWednesday #WildflowerHour will have to settle for the resilient leaves of Pink-flowered #Wintergreen Pyrola asarifolia against a backdrop of beautiful #lichen on a fallen bit of birch trunk. #LichenSubscribe #BorealForest #Alberta #Canada #spring #SolaceInNature

A fallen bit of birch trunk, a hand's width or less, crosses the frame from side to side in the top half. It has become completely covered in the small multiply branching 'fronds' of a pale blue-green lichen. The surface is dusted with reddish fallen spruce needles and bits of golden green moss have taken hold as well, including one spreading clump near the centre top. Below, in front centre is a small rosette of wintergreen, it's several deep green slightly purple-red limned leaves- clearly last year's, not fresh- are highlighted against the pale lichen. The wintergreen leaves rise from a layer of faded grey-brown poplar leaves from last year, wet between from recent snow melt and rain.

Met a very huggable tree.

Photo of a pale tree trunk covered in fluffy pale green lichen. Beyond is a blue sky and blurred blossom tree branches. The tree trunk has a happy face and arms drawn on.

The many orange tips of this ground lichen were impossible to miss as I climbed up the trail, as if the lichen was hoping to be noticed. I didn't want to let this organism down, and here we are

The image shows a cluster of small, orange-tipped lichen growing on a dark, slimy base in a forest floor setting. There are also bits of greenery, such as moss, and leaf litter surrounding the mushrooms. It looks like a damp, natural environment typical of places where fungi and lichen thrive.

13 years of moss and lichen growth.

I hung this helmet up in 2012. It was the end of a transcontinental motorcycle trip during which one of my buddies died.

This is my monument to Mark.

A black Harley-Davidson motorcycle helmet hangs on a wood and chicken wire greenhouse door. The top surface is smooth, but the under surface has transformed into a moss and lichen garden. Several tufts of spiky orange/green moss grow above the Harley badge. Several ghostly green lichens stretch arms out into the air.

Close view of a tree trunk that’s covered in yellow gold colored lichen. The bark showing under and through that is a light gray-green. There is a round knot in the wood that is right under an arched ridge that comes down below the knot and meets a horizontal line below. This makes a weird cartoon-like eye shape. There are curved ridges right under the knot that expand out and open more widely, looking like a sagging ‘bag’ under the ‘eye’.
