Day 93: Whenever I walk a new trail, I am always alert for wildflowers, birds, fungi and lichens. Occasionally, I am rewarded with something I've not seen before, but for the most part, my only discoveries will be common species. While walking the Bud Blancher trail yesterday, I was delighted to find one short section (about a tenth of a mile) where Cladonia macilenta was in abundant evidence. That said, I had to wonder if the density will be reduced now that the trail is open to the light. I will be monitoring the progress of these colonies and taking photographs at various times to document their development.
