@aspenecology.comContinuing #marine #lichens theme below. This is Lichina pygmaea. Found in #barnacle zone between high and low tide. Tolerates long periods of saltwater immersion. Distinguished from L confinis by flattened branchlets but also position: L confinis found in splash zone above high-tide line. Scotland.
@aspenecology.comJoin me on the weekend of 3 & 4 October for my 'Lichens for beginners' course at FSC Epping Forest! #Lichens are a secret world all around you: curiously beautiful, ecologically vital, unique on Earth...and totally overlooked. Let's explore it together! www.field-studies-council.org/courses-and-...

Want to learn to identify these species? The distance learning #course #Lichens on #Trees starts Monday 28 September.
@petravergunst.bsky.socialThe next start date for the four week Field Studies Council course Discovering #Lichens is 6 October. The #webinars tend to be particularly enriching.

@princetonupress.bsky.social@petravergunst.bsky.socialSouth Ythsie #stone_circle in #Aberdeenshire. #Lichens can tell us about the #geology of the #rock, but also about nutrient enrichment as a result of #air_pollution. #Bird perching indicators are also very common on stone circles.

@sylviad.bsky.socialA lovely bit of rain in the hours before my churchyard survey yesterday perked the lichen up and laid them out for me like sweeties poured from a jar - IDs and helpful info in ALT text #lichens
@numenini.bsky.socialWonder if these #brownalgae at Mill Bay #Salcombe #Devon are Dulse (Palmaria palmata) & Pepper Dulse (Osmundea pinnatifida), with the #redalgae Worm Weed (Dumontia contorta).
Also the marine #lichen (Lichina pygmaea). #algae #lichens #seaweed #phycologyfriday #seaweeds #alga #marinelife #sealife
@lawrencelighthill.bsky.socialPhoto taken January 9, 2021, of a rock outcropping that was almost completely covered in lichens. For me, if you look at the photo for a minute, it looks like the rock outcropping is moving slightly, or maybe I just fell off my chair. #photography #nature #FungiFriends #fungi #lichens
