I keep finding more material in the archives for #lichenappreciationmonth. Check out all that lovely #rhizocarpon. Can't help but #lichen all that diversity. (at Glacier National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqcjluHltlF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=155ungm7424ot

One last opportunity to give #lichens some 💛 in my self-designated #lichenappreciationmonth. #Cladonia are #cuplichens and a primary food source for caribou and reindeer. Can't help but 💚 the #christmastreemoss or #polytrichum too. These scenes always remind me of miniature enchanted forests. #forestfloor https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1P1Znl5Ta/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14iwavrj5fsu4

#lichenappreciationmonth isn't over yet. Time to appreciate a nice #folioselichen like #lethariavulpina or #wolflichen, an unfortunate common name due to the fact it used to be used to poison wolves. ☹ So you can appreciate its chartreuse color and hair-like structure, but don't eat it or feed it to your dogs or wolves.

Another view of the #grandcanyon which is simultaneously appropriate for #lichenappreciationmonth. I mean check out the diversity. I bet there's even some #caloplacatrachyphylla in there.
