Lichen The Attitude


Day 82: More than any other lichens, Cladonias have attitude. I found this particularly opinionated one while prowling through snow and blowdown in search of Fringed Kidneys in an area where they are known to occur. Although I failed to find the Kidneys, my exploration was not entirely an anatomical bust. I also found Bloody Heart, although its core showed very little of the signature colouration which gives it its common name. Later in the day and in a different location, I also discovered a veritable forest of the lacy Platismatia herrei, but that's a subject for another post.
