This is probably Too Niche, but to the vivid dreamers out there: do you ever get nostalgic for a place from your dreams that isn't real? I have recurring locations in my dreams that just. don't exist. And I find myself thinking about them or having "memories" about them even though they don't exist and never have. But they're real in my heart even though I'll never go there.

(tell me about these places in the tags, I'm so curious)

Lepraria jackii 

Lichen or mold? With just a casual glance, Lepraria lichens can look like mold to the untrained eye, so here is your training! Firstly, mold doesn't typically grow on healthy trees. So if you see a smear of white or green on an otherwise healthy looking tree, it is likely not mold. Secondly, if you get close, you will notice that Lepraria lichens like L. jackii are made up of fine or coarse well-delimited granules, often forming soft, random masses. Molds are typically minutely filamentous, often so small and dense that they kinda just blur together. So well delimited grains=lichens. Thirdly, lichens are a lot tougher than mold. Poke L. jackii and you will get some solid granules are your fingers, but the general structure will hold. Poke a mold, it'll fall apart and scrape right off the surface. Lastly, Leprarias and other lichens with green algal photobionts will appear darker green when moist due to the activation of their chlorophyl. Mold doesn't have chlorophyl, and so won't appear more green when moistened. So yeah, you don't have to worry if you see stuff like L. jackii on trees. Unlike molds which are saprotrophs (eat dead stuff), lichens are enclosed autotrophic systems (the photobiont makes food for itself and mycobiont) so they aren't consuming the tree or causing it any harm. In fact lichens are often an indicator of a healthy ecosystem! Hooray lichens!

used to religiously read a 1978 edition of a seventh grade biology textbook grandpa gave me when i was tiny. The world seemed so big and the illustration of the life kingdoms in the back was so profound
