Early frost?

No, that's lichen on this stump in the New Forest.

Lecanora helicopis and Myriolecis actophila: two common #lichens of British rocky shores. They tend to grow together, but they're easily distinguished: former dark grey, latter light. Find them in splash zone above high-tide, where they tolerate some wave action but don't experience tidal immersion.

A new colony of splitgill mushrooms (Schizophyllum commune) growing on a scorched tree; these are not #lichens, I know :)

Excited to be in Diss on Norfolk/Suffolk border for @suffolk-nats1929.bsky.social and @norfolknats.bsky.social joint conference on ‘Recording for Nature Recovery’. Flying flag for ecologically vital but hugely overlooked and under-recorded world of #lichens! Thanks to SNS and NNNS for organising.

Photo taken October 3, 2026, of what looks like a flowering shrub called Mountain Pride. It was growing on a rock outcropping with some colorful lichens covering the rock. Also, some Native Nations used it for medicinal purposes. #photography #nature #shrubs #FungiFriends #fungi #lichens #landback

I've grown tired of learning new things about myself through the boundless joys (/s) of extended burnout. On a far brighter note, however, I've just learned about #lichens, and now the many spots and growths on rocks and trees and things that I've seen my entire life, but never thought too much […]

You know, we should probably reproduce. What do you say algae? Let’s gather together some of your cells with my fungal filaments into soredia and see if the wind will blow them to that tree. It looks like it could use some Rosette Lichen. Fun!
