I forgot to post this because I finished it at like 12 and then I was too busy looking at what cool lichens I could add to her and then I ended up far down a Wikipedia rabbit hole at 2 am.

Anyways lichens are literally so cool because they are like THE symbiotic relationship. Like the 2 components most lichens have (Algae and fungi) are so intertwined that they are considered their OWN SPECIES?!?! THEIR OWN FAMILY?!?! Like when most people refer to symbiosis they refer to things like clown fish and anemones, which is a good example but both can survive somewhat without each other. But the algae and fungi that make up lichens are SO intertwined that they can be considered species of their own and are often ONLY seen with each other! That’s like if clown fish and anemones became so reliant on each other that they merged and became their own species. THAT IS SO AWESOME PEOPLE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS MORE PLEASE IVE BEEN HOLDING THIS INFORMATION IN FOR SO LONG AND NOBOY CARES WHEN I EXPLAIN HOW COOL THIS IS.

Ok deep breath guys sorry you had to deal with that infodump but if anyone ever asks me about plants/fungi/algae I will never shut up they are my special interests and I will never get tired of them.

Anyways I added some Foliose lichen to sequoia’s back instead adding those web thingys. I also tried to add some flavoparmelia caperata on the knot near the end of her wing since it’s one of my favorite kinds of lichen. I also added some of this one type of mushroom that usually appears on older trees but I forget its name.

Hehe haha anyways I’m totally normal about plants you guys should ask me about plants because I am sooo normal about them it’s crazy.

tempted to make a lichen growth form tier list but in truth i appreciate all of them in their own ways.... fruiticose is lavish and interesting and genuinely kinda insane to me but only because i come from a place where all the lichens are crustose.... foliose lichens are also kinda wild and in my experience are laden with soridia on the edges and also sometimes can come out branched or tube-shaped or hairy on the edges which is wild, also i think its funny that they end up growing on top of each other on dense logs and stuff....crustose lichens have a special place in my heart because i grew up with them and i love how they cover the bark of trees and some of them are so flat you can barely tell its a lichen (Graphis scripta certified classic lichen moment)...... squamulose is a bit of a deep cut lichen moment but one of my favorite lichen species is squamulose (Psora decipiens ❤️💞🫶 spoiler alert: small and pink no less)......etc. just thinking about them today tbh

Punctelia borreri

Blinking speckleback lichen

This foliose lichen grows in rounded rosettes up to 10 cm in diameter. It has rounded, contiguous lobes which grow closely attached to the substrate. The upper surface is gray-green to place gray in color, and speckled with white, punctiform pseudocyphellae. It produces granular soredia out of those pseudocyphellae and out of capitate soralia. The lower surface is black toward the center and brown toward the lobe margins, with simple, black rhizines. It only very rarely produces apothecia which are bowl-shaped, and have a red-brown disc. P. borrei typically grows on the bark of deciduous trees in mild-temperate and humid climates. It is considered cosmopolitan as it is found pretty much all over. Also, here is a super cute historical drawing of it done in 1808 by Dawson Turner for its original description:

Future tattoo idea maybe?

The Special Words for the Growth Forms of Lichen

The special words for forms of lichen are almost as good as the special words for the textures of ants. The Foliose, The Crustose and The fruticose. Areolate, Filamentous, Placodioid, Byssoid and Calicioid Who can forget Cladoniform and the Squamulose!

And must we mention the Gelatinous and Leprose?

oc posting :3 a background i did the other day of my characters Georgiana (they/them, riding the horse), Ilieu (she/her, the little thing snuggled into their chest) and Foliose (she/her, the horse).

these 3 are minor characters in my story TUESDAY, but major characters in my heart. i wanted to try a different, more cell-colored style of background here, and I quite like the result!

the location is inspired by the southwest desert highlands in this fantasy western story. Malachite Pass is dense mountain terrain, and while this image is set in the early winter, let's pretend the blue flax flowers bloom here year-round, yes?
