Day 188: I don't know which was the bigger thrill yesterday, discovering that the Booger Tree had sprouted fresh boogers or finding teeny-tiny baby Kidneys nestled in the moss on a downed branch. This is another location I check when I walk to or from the Community Building. I now have a "landmark tree" which tells me exactly which pile of fallen twigs to investigate. I'm sure these must be offspring from the colony I found here several years ago. Since attending the lichen conference, I knew to look for "pimples" on the back side. There were none, which confirms my original identification of Nephroma helveticum.
