lichen moments from today's research:
-read that one paper where they measured lichen survival after simulated meteor impact and although the results were essentially like 'the lichens did surprisingly well even though they ARE more likely to die as the impact of the theoretical meteor theyre riding on becomes more powerful, and unfortunately big rocks hitting a planet tend to be powerful, so it might take a time and place with lots and lots of different meteors hitting the planet in question for lichen colonization of another planet to be statistically possible' i was also very distracted by the table where they had the explosives they used on the lichens listed and it was like TNT and C4 and shit loaded on to one end of the lichen destroyer 5000 whos only purpose is to smoosh a lichen between two meteor-like rock disks at different velocities. it just had a very loony tunes subtext to it i enjoyed and i wonder if footage exists
-i knew lichen diversity could be used as a pollution bioindicator but i didn't know that was THAT good of a pollution bioindicator. like there are papers where they're concocting pollution maps of a city by counting the lichen species on similarly-sized trees of the same species and putting the counts into a formula that spits out a lichen yelp review of how much it sucks to breathe air for any given survey site in an area. and the yelp reviews track with rough gradients of air pollution readings. which is wild

Since January of this year, I have gotten to see alot of fungi but here are some that have stood out to me so far and were cool to find. I first found the Ochre Jelly Club (Leotia lubrica) fruiting at a local trail system. A month or so later, I found some Scarlet Cups (Sarcoscypha coccinea) at a local preserve. I then saw a beautiful cluster of Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) fruiting at my local wetlands, and just a month ago or so, I got to observe some pretty Water Club Mushrooms (Vibrissea truncorum) fruiting both below and above some water in a small runoff creek at Snoqualmie Pass.
