Day 3: Zombie season is at hand! Or maybe that should be "at fingernails." They're reaching up from the forest floor, from stumps, from rock crevices and logs. They're coming to get you, and they want to eat your brains! Yes, lichens of all sorts are celebrating the return of cool, wet weather, and Peltigera membranacea is no exception. One of the "pelt" lichens, its fruiting bodies (apothecia) look suspiciously like the tips of zombie fingers groping for an ankle from beyond the grave. Will you be dragged into their lair this Hallowe'en? Mind your step and don't go out after dark! They're waiting, waiting, waiting...
