I am sitting on Thanksgiving morning writing about our adventures yesterday. I hope that everybody is having a great start to the day. Now, on to ferns and lichens.
Licorice fern on a moss-covered tree limb.
Western sword fern, a common understory plant.
Now, some lichens. Without any references (we packed light for the plane), most will have to go unidentified for the time being.
Side by side on an oak.
A busy branch.
Ramalina farinacea, on the left and Graphis scripta on the right.
Most likely the same species of Ramalina and one of the Usnea lichens.
There’s a lot going on here dominated by the Usnea in the middle.
More tomorrow…
