I took some additional #lichen samples in the location of the suspected Athallia inconnexa discussed yesterday. Now I can confirm Acarospora cervina - the preferred host for A. inconnexa.

Yellow organe nightmare #lichen again. This one is from rocks in a gabion. Maybe parasitic on a P. muralis and others? My best match for today is Caloplaca oasis. Spore size matches, however I am cautious because septa are wider than described. I will have to check some macro features tomorrow.
Biodice: a network of scientists and institutions with the common goal of promoting research, greater awareness and understanding of biodiversity in Iceland. This objective reflects the growing need to meet the challenges of massive global biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. We explain this initiative and invite others to join the network.

A quick #lichen for the evening: Caloplaca cerina (also new to me). On branches of Fraxinus. Beautiful yellow apothecial disks (K+ dark red).
#Lichen crust on lignum (top side of a wooden post) on campus. "Small yellow/orange […] nightmare" as @sylviad.bsky.social put it. Subsquamulose brown-orange ap., many spored asci. My tenative ID would be Candelariella vitellina. Many features match - however I would have expected it more yellow.
Rhizocarpon geographicum on the rocks near the Babia Góra mountaintop (Beskidy, Poland) or behold my first #lichen pics on the Fediverse #LichenSubscribe
Picking the next #lichen sample for tonight*: photographed with help of Sarah @lilithelina.bsky.social because I do not have 3 hands …
I spent some time scouting an old wall for a future excursion. Unfortunately I only had my cellphone camera and hand lens with me. #lichen
Fencpost #lichen. Lichens come in many forms and sizes.
A weathered, bamboo screen, with lichen decoration, for your Saturday entertainment.
certain parmelitic lichens, the usnea, develop a unique elasticity that allows them to resist the wind - as seen here on the summit ridge of Cap Sizun - and to grow cute tiny beards • certains lichens parmélies, les usnées, développent une élasticité singulière leur permettant de resister au vent - comme ici sur la crète sommitale du cap sizun - et se traduisant par des mini-barbes toutes cute. #lichen #fungi #algae #capsizun
Good morning.
Greenshield lichen looking kinda bluish. #silentsunday #lichen
Not much on #lichen identification side today. I prototyped and 3D-printed an guide for spotting of the 5x5 hpTLC plates.
I believe these are the "red needle-like crystals" with forming norstictic acid in KOH. #lichen #microchemistry I have not found reference images for this though maybe @aspenecology.com can share his thoughts on this? The lichen sample was K+ yellow slowly turning (brick)red.
