This is one of the waterfalls downstream from Dynjandi. I think it's the one called Hundafoss.

We were planning to revisit Westfjords next year, but plans changed (not by me), so here I am, browsing through the photos I took in Westfjords, feeling nostalgic. 🙃

In a forest where the ground is covered with mosses and lichens, I found this tiny “antler” that had fallen from a tree!
From a tree?
It’s the Common Antler Lichen (Pseudevernia consocians), which I can find here on pine branches.

@kleinmatic Welcome back! You have a lot of wonderful #Mosstodon and #lichenSubscribe pictures to catch up on, conversations about AI, and lots of mutual aid around pretty much any topic.

I want to try some #Tardigrade hunting on my #openflexure #microscope (built from an excellent @labcrafter kit). So bike ride today was a bimble to collect a few #mosstodon and #lichensubscribe samples to look at next week. #biketooter #opensource #openscience

This preserve is on the wet side of the Santa Cruz Mountains - in a valley that concentrates all the moist air coming off the pacific.

In other words, moss and lichen heaven!

And let's throw in a little fungus action too!

A nice spot of Gray's cup lichen from this morning.
Gray's cup lichen (Cladonia grayi) is a pixie cup lichen that looks very similar to many other cup lichen species.
Most of these Cladonia cup lichens cannot be distinguished without complicated chemical tests.
This one contains a special acid that reacts positively under UV light and turns a beautiful ice blue.

Während wir am klettern waren, hat Tiny dann gemerkt, dass der scheinbar blanke Sandstein eigentlich nicht so blank ist! :BlobhajShock:

Wir haben zur Verdeutlichung mal das Makro-Bild im gleichen Maßstab über einen breiteren Ausschnitt gelegt... Der Licht-Würfel hat eine Kantenlänge von 35mm! :Blobhaj:

Found some rare Dark Shadow Lichen (Phaeophyscia sciastra) on a rock close to the shore of Lake Huron.
The dark blue-black lichen are surrounded by some orange Elegant Sunburst Lichen (Rusavskia elegans).

This is pretty cool...!

Scientists Think One of Earth’s Simplest Organisms May Work like a Giant Brain

One of Earth’s oldest plants appears to pass electrical messages through its dense green mats.

"Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

- While #moss form vital substrates that allow more complex plant and animal life to move into new ecological niches, the plants themselves are often seen as simple lifeforms.
- A new study complicates this picture with evidence of electrophysical communication in mats of #Brachythecium rutabulum, a rough-stalked feather moss found throughout Great Britain.
- Although future studies will be needed, this research shows that one of the oldest types of plant life on Earth may have a secret means of communication."
