Day 189: Plants vs. Zombies, and I'm not sure who won. While I was exploring the back reaches of Longmire Campground a few days ago, I stumbled across a number of small but well-developed colonies of this unusual Cladonia (C. ecmocyna). Its slender, pointed podetia sometimes rise as much as three or four inches above the carpet of moss, giving the impression of pale worms emerging from the forest floor. A subspecies often forms narrow cups at its tips, and may exhibit brown apothecia on the rims.
