Hello all, As some of you already know, I'm exploring ways of using lichen to assess air quality in south side Chicago. Over the next six weeks, high school...

Hi All, Never occurred to me to look for a lichen group on Yahoo. Although an amateur naturalist all my life, I must confess that I can not think of the name...
Hello Jack, I am looking forward to meeting you in McHenry Co. I go out with Rich a lot, but don't have a good memory for lichen names, so I don't know that...
... I have only seen 3 species out here in about 10 years so it should be pretty easy to remember them once I learn them. For some reason, I just have not...
Welcome Jack, Yes there are lichens in Chicago as in Chicago proper. I haven't seen any of the British Soldiers in the city. But I have seen some crustose...
... Interesting as I lived on the NW side (Montrose and Austin) and never saw a lichen in the neighborhood. Don't believe there were any at North Park Village...
Hello Jack - Glad you're with us - I don't know about Marengo, but there are British Soldiers in the Western suburbs in Dupage County, also I've heard they are...
YES folks the overnighter at McHenry COunty is on. Oct 14-15. We'll visit a few local natural areas, and stay overnight. This is optional - the overnight....
I published the "Lichens of Ten Chicago Parks" last year and in my studies I found 25 lichens at North Park Village. 11 are crustose and 14 are foliose. No...

This pic looked better before I compressed it but would anyone like to take a shot at id-ing these guys? Looks like two different green ones but it's not...
Hi everyone, I added a photo to my photo folder today, not sure what they are, but they were growing on the ground in the St. Mihiel East forest preserve near...
Hi All, A student of mine had a field trip to the Indiana Dunes and collected some twigs with lichen on them. One that caught my eye was unfamiliar to me and...
Hello Lichen group: I am going to be putting together another "Lichen Weekend" for the Spring/summer of 2008. Let's say end of May, early June. As in the last...
John, are you sure those are lichen? They look like they might be a spiderwort. I'm a beginner at this, so don't laugh too hard if I'm way wrong. Anita...
... I think you mean Liverwort, no? Spider wort is a tall flowering plant. It resembles the PIXIE-CUP LICHEN (Cladonia chlorophaea) but is different enough...
Couldn't find the photo in question. Is it in a particular album? Is there a link? Valerie ... From: "Anita" <hortus111@...> John, are you sure those...
... Hi Anita, Perhaps you meant Liverwort? Spiderwort is a wildflower. But yes, I'm sure they were a lichen. Glad that someone finally responded to my post....
... I suspect Rich will be along for i.d. but I am also interested in the star like plant in the photo. I suspect it could be a liverwort but don't know that...

The star-like plant in John's photo is a moss. With the thick leaves I would say it is a Polytrichum species. The pyxie-cup lichen is a Cladonia. Rich...
Hi, Am I looking at the wrong picture--which part is the star-like moss? I couldn't find it. Margaret M. Glynn Independent Consultant The Body Shop® At...
Hi everyone, Thanks for your replies. Since my original posting 2 years ago, I had worked out that it was a Cladonia, but hadn't felt comfortable with any...
Hello Jack, Thanks for that ID. I checked the image on your site, and it does look very similar. By the way, the gray, cracked mass in that shot is, I think, a...
... Did you find this yet? I don't have the picture or link to it but it is pretty conspicuous. js ... -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm ...
