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 ...

I know a bit about mushrooms, but those are too old and dehydrated for me to attempt any sort of ID, sorry. Could they be associated with a lichen? John...
... Well, I wondered if that was maybe what it was but I wasn't sure. Hopefully others will comment. In the meantime I have a mushroom expert that I correspond...
... (?) ... a ... Sam, It looks like it may have once been some kind of chantrelle or false chantrelle. It has that upward trumpet shape and bright orange. But...
Hey Sam, Your orange fungus looks like it may have once been a Chantrelle or a False Chantrelle. It has that bright orange color and that upward trumpet-shape....
... Hi Jess, Not a Chanterelle, as these are growing on/consuming wood, Chanterelles don't grow on wood, they grow in soil in a mycorrhizal association with...
I wanted to announce our first trip to look for lichens in 2009. It will be held over the weekend of March 28 (Saturday) & 29 (Sunday) 2009. Location is...
... They appear to be Lichen fruiting bodies to me. Their growth habit on rock indicates Lichen too, but I don't know what species they are. I'm sure someone...
If the photo was taken in Chicago I'd say that it looks like Cladonia peziziformis, a fruticose lichen. I am not sure that it grows in Oklahoma, or maybe it...
It looks like a species of Cladonia (cristatela,?)(british soldier lichen). Here is the wikipedia entry for it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladonia). You...
Cladonia cristatella, or British Soldiers, has red apothecia (hence, the Red-Coats). Sam's photo shows tan-colored apothecia. I am still going with C....

Hello Rich & Co., I have a friend in Sweden, who bought a plant, that has a fungus on it; that I've seen around here. I've dropped it in the photos section,...
