Lobaria anthraspis
Dimpled specklebelly
I have been saving this lichen for a special occasion because I am so incredibly in love with her that I haven't wanted to free her from my drafts folder. But today is the day. This gorgeous weirdo is a tripartite (has both a green algae AND a cyanobacteria as photobionts) foliose lichen which grows only in the cold, humid forests of western North America. It has leathery, reticulated lobes which vary in color from dark brown (melanized) to gray blue to olive green in color. It produces lots of apothecia which also vary in color from orange to red to brown to black. Like other Lobarias, L. anthraspis prefers old-growth, isolated forests far away from pollution and disturbance. So my current retirement plan is to wander into the forest and settle wherever I find her and live out the rest of my life in peace and joy (the rest of my life not being very long due to the harsh winters of the region, but at least I will go out happy in the presence of the one I love).

i like to think that the tentacles in dungeon meshi are kinda like mushrooms or perhaps even lichens in that they are very confusing to identifty and have 200 completely different species that look very similar ("delicious brown tentacle vs BROWN DEATH TENDRIL") and you need to be an Expert to determine the difference between some of the more confusing species and some of them have like 300 different sexes and some of them are actually composite creatures composed of several different species and somehow yeast is involved and also no one really knows half of whats going on with them and in like 50 years someones gonna figure out that uhm actually these are two completely different types of tentacle creatures that arent related like at All they jusf happen to look similar and oh btw that one common house mold is actually a tentacle
#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#i dont know enough about lichens to go into detail they confuse the fuck outta me#i love how the wikipedia page uses the words#'was UNDERSTOOD to be...'#'in 2016 research revealed a NEW PARTNER a yeast'#they sound like fucked up little guys#(looking at tentacle porn) huh i wonder about the scientific research on these guys#like it would explain how theres just So Many Types and its just a fucking mess every time they appear onscreen#oh sorry you thought this was a common docile soecies of tentacle that happens to be delicious but its ACTUALLY the voracious Sex Tenta

some sketches of my guy
#original character#angel oc#monster boy oc#wings#winged oc#for those curious he is the main character of this serial comic i have planned after my short film and one shots are#finished called “Mayflies”#Basically its a slice of life/fantasy comic about a world where “angels” are these huge insectoid-like entities that exist in a symbiotic#relationship with humans#They spend the majority of their life cycles in a juvenile state similar to mayflies#where they inhabit the bodies of dead humans#so every once and awhile when someone dies they will come back as an angel spontaneously. Denny was walking to work one day in the#dark and rain and got hit by a car. lucky for him#an adult angel appeared at that moment and triggered the angeldeath and he Came Back#hes like the same guy though angels dont have a separate conciousness from their host. its like#he is the angel. like a lichen. from his POV he can't tell that anything's changed inside his brain only now. he feathers#so yeah. i love him#side note#he has a GNC boyfriend named Ruth

And with your help we can make it 60-80%
#i saw sooooooooo much lichen yesterday. peace and love on planet earth.#huge clumps of reindeer lichen which was really cool because it's not super common around here. and it grows so slowly#so big clumps are a good sign re: the health of that particular area.#also saw pixie cups which are my favorite. if you don't have a favorite lichen.....you better fix that😐#sorry to any new followers it's not always atla tlok hours here. sometimes i have to lichenpost.

how. do i become a lichenologist. its a need not a want i promise
Look for schools that have lichenologists
Go to that school
Approach said lichenologists at school and tell them you want to work for them. They will likely be very excited to hear this
Learn skills related to field work, lab work, systematics and taxonomy, and scientific reading/writing
Read papers on lichenology
Find the thing that gets you really excited in the field and talk to everyone about it. Become a passionate zealot for your thing. Follow your thing wherever to takes you, and be prepared for this thing to lead you to new things
Be an absolute annoyance to everyone until the let you be what you want to be because you deserve it if you are passionate enough to go for it
#lichen#lichenology#lichenologist#mycology#ecology#biology#honestly I am not a goals person#but I am a bothersome stubborn little goblin#and when I love something I love hard

do you ever think about how eddie knew he was going to blow up during his breakdown and after frank said it would take out anyone around him as well as himself he started to distance himself from everyone going as far as locking his bedroom door because he didn’t want his son to see him let it all out because his default setting is to always protect others even at the expense of himself or are you normal
#i have a lot to say about this man and hardly any of it is coherent#just know i love him like lichen loves dead things#eddie diaz#911#911 on fox#911 on abc
