Tortella inclinata

Shortleaf chalk moss, inclined twisted moss

Hey all, I have decided to transition to moss instead of lichens. I know this is a huge change and many of you will likely lose interest now that the focus of this blog has shifted so significantly, but I promise I will do my best to make moss as interesting as lichens. So please give a warm welcome to T. inclinata! This widespread, pioneer species grows on loose, calcareous substrates in sun-exposed habitats in cool-temperate regions. It has pale yellow-green stems and hooded, twisted leaves. It forms dense tufts up to 1 cm tall. This species is dioicous (has male and female parts on separate plant), and it forms curved ellipsoidal to cylindrical spore capsules in spring. So yeah, that's a moss for ya! Bryophytes are great and I totally like them more than lichens now.

(in case it isn't clear, this is an April Fool's joke and we will return to our regularly scheduled lichen posts tomorrow)

My unsolicited advice for the day:

Take a hike!

Go to the woods. Climb a mountain. See some cool rocks. Touch a lake. Hug a tree. Find a cool stick. Get away from noise. It’s great for your soul!

Never been? Do it anyway!

Hate walking? You need to go twice as much!

“I don’t live near a trail!” You almost certainly do, I promise you.

Physically disabled? There’s a network of adaptive trails for you to explore.

Leptogium azureum

Blue jellyskin lichen

I love when lichens get names like L. azureum and blue jellyskin lichen and then you look at them and are like . . . yeah maybe I would say its blue I guess? Like clearly whoever name L. azureum had been looking at a lot of dull-colored lichens before this one to come up with that name. This gelatinous, foliose lichen has broad, irregular lobes growing in large patches up to 9 cm in diameter. The upper surface is bluish-gray when dry, and darker blue-green when moist. The lower surface is paler gray and wrinkled with white hairs. It produces red-brown apothecia which grow on very short stalks and have a thalline margin around the disk. It has a cyanobacterial photobiont. L. azureum grows on acrid rock and bark in tropical and subtropical regions around the globe.
