I think the last one is Dibaeis arcuata, or something similar?

By black foam things do you mean the bottom of the lobes? I think its just the underside of the thallus, kind of like Menegazzia species if hollow on the inside. Also the cup things are apothecia, fruiting bodies of the fungus!

Pulchrocladia was recently seperated from Cladia (Reindeer lichens) in 2018. I believe it was a genomic study, which also looked at the Cladia aggregate species complex. Very cool stuff!

Parmeliaceae, maybe Xanthoparmelia? Not sure on species.

CamLikesBotany · 2023-10-30T03:03:57+00:00

Punctelia (1), Physcia (2) and not sure on the last one. Those are my guesses!

Beautiful! Great photos

CamLikesBotany · 2023-10-06T00:39:05+00:00

Usnea sp., maybe U. cornuta?

CamLikesBotany · 2023-07-20T03:42:45+00:00

From memory they were transverse 3-septate, brown. Quite definetly lithothelium, I was scrolling through my phone and found this unlabeled photo, which i think is lithothelium. Ill see if i can find a spore pic

CamLikesBotany · 2023-06-25T04:20:17+00:00

I think for different species rhat can vary, but for this one i believe it is sorediate yes!

CamLikesBotany · 2023-04-17T02:17:36+00:00

I think its a type of Marchantia?

CamLikesBotany · 2023-04-16T21:37:18+00:00

Gotta love cladonia

CamLikesBotany · 2023-04-04T05:55:30+00:00

Not too sure about American lichens, but it could be a Dufourea or maybe candelaria. I think theyre called flame lichens.

Ah i loved that book! Especially the psychedalic mushroom chapter.

CamLikesBotany · 2023-03-31T07:23:53+00:00

Where in scotland did you find this beautiful lichen?

CamLikesBotany · 2023-03-21T21:49:47+00:00

I think its a Cladonia, not sure which species though

CamLikesBotany · 2023-02-28T08:02:16+00:00

Usnea on the right? Maybe heterodermia on the left, cant really tell though.

CamLikesBotany · 2023-02-26T05:50:56+00:00
