Another from the world of Lichen, Old Mans Beard (Usnea subfloridana). You find this stuff draped all over trees in damp neglected bits of woodland. As usual, there are lots of species, but If you're in Northumberland and see this it's 99% sure to be Usnea subfloridana. #Northumberland #Nature #Lichen #Usnea #Fungi #Wildlife

The grey beard on the old oaks after rain — crotal in the Gaelic, the lichen the trees wear like a wizard's whiskers. You can't cold-steep usnea; the usnic acid barely dissolves in water.

What do you reach for when the air turns against you?

World's longest lichen declines in a national park https://phys.org/news/2023-09-world-longest-lichen-declines-national.html

Long-term dynamics of the iconic old-forest lichen #Usnea longissima in a protected landscape https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378112723006035

"The #lichen mainly disperses with larger fragments, which only dispersed a few meters over 37 years. The poor dispersal explains the lichen's strong dependence on long continuity of #forest cover and preference for sites not subjected to fire"

Today for you I have beard lichen from the laurel forest in Madeira, one of the levada walks from back in November. The air smelled so good.
