Another mysterious Lecanora sp. Since the undergrowths have died down, I can get close to the trees to check the lichens. This Lecanora sp. with purple apothecia is seen commonly in the low mountains of the area. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Lichen #FungiFriends あずき色の子器を持つレカノーラ。長野県小諸市鴇久保 #地衣類

Close-up of the apothecia disks of Lecanora lichen. The disks are round with brown-purple interior and white rim. The larger disks are filled in, while the smaller disks are concaved making them look like bowls rather than disks. The body of lichen is rough textured green.Lecanora colony on tree. Small, round, and purple apothecia disks stand out against the green lichen body.

Instagram is all videos now and I miss the days when my photography had a fighting chance of being seen. So here’s an Oregon waterfall from a few years ago.
