Ramalina labiosorediata

Powdery twig lichen, chalky bush lichen

Look, I know that "labio" is just the Latin for "lips." I know that. But that doesn't stop the dumb 13-year-old that lives in the back of brain from cringing and giggling when I read that word. I just . . . I would simply choose to not name R. labiosorediata that, ya know? This fruticose lichen has a shrubby thallus that grows in ragged clusters up to 2 cm long. It has flattened or slightly inflated branches which have marginal or terminal, lip-shaped soralia which often look like accidental splits in the surface spewing powdery soredia. R. labiosoreiata was established as its own species in 2017, and is the North American counterpart to the more widespread R. pollinaria.

Ramalina menziesii (Lace Lichen)

South-eastern Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. March 10, 2024

One of the few lichens I really wanted to see on this trip, because its distribution is strictly restricted to the western coast of North America. I'm not sure when (or if) I'll be here again, so my priority is these Pacific coast lichens.

FOTD #102 : lace lichen! (ramalina menziesii)

lace lichen (also fishnet lichen) is a fruticose epiphytic lichen in the family ramalinaceae. it is found across north america & plays multiple important ecological roles :-) the indigenous kawaiisu people of california reportedly used it for its magical properties*.

the big question : can i bite it?? nah - it is mostly inedible for humans, but it is an important food source for deer in the coast range of california !!

r. menziesii description :

"this lichen grows up to a meter long, hanging from bark & twigs in a distinctive net-like or lace-like pattern. it is white to light green."

[images : source, source & source] [fungus description : source]

*so, this was one of the first recorded instances of people using this lichen !! apparently, they would place it in water to bring rain, & place it in fire to repel thunder or lightning :-) the kashaya pomo people of northern california would also use it, but as a "sanitary material" (which i assume means like toilet paper?).

if any of you guys have inaturalist and are up to clicking like . a minimal amount of buttons for me for the Sake of Science can u let me know.......... my science class did a bioblitz and i'm trying to make it so that every observation is identified to like a kingdom at the very fucking least but that is very difficult when people misidentify things and then dont do anything about it

#inaturalist adventures #please i just want to fucking get these dog vomit slime molds confirmed as dog vomit slime molds.#and these polypores as polypores. and these dirt covered roots as dirt covered roots instead of LICHEN #SPECIFICALLY A SPECIES THAT GROWS ON TREE BRANCHES....#(someone id'd dirt covered plant roots as ramalina menziesszszsii i dont know how to spell that actually)#seeing things named after menzies makes me feel like that one video of the guy yelling about madden football video game

EDIT: A couple of IDs thanks to iNaturalist!

5th image: Cartillage lichen 》 Ramalina complanata

Upper specimen in 9th and 10th images: Golden-eye lichen 》 Teloschistes chrysophthalmus

My first lichen IDs!!

-----------------

It was a morning for lichens today!

I don't know much about them at the moment, but I'm very excited to learn more. Just look how beautiful they are!

I haven't the knowledge to identify any of these but if anyone else does I'd certainly love to hear. 🔍

Ramalina peruviana

Quipu lichen, Peruvian ribbon lichen

This fruticose lichen has many thin, flattened branches and tiny, isidiate branchlets growing out of lateral soredia and branch tips. The surface is pale gray-green interrupted by ellipsoidal or linear pseudocyphellae and punctiform soralia. It only rarely produces apothecia. R. peruviana grows on bark and occasionally rock in tropical and costal regions worldwide. So why is it named R. peruviana? Well, the type specimen used by Erik Acharius to describe the species was found in Peru. What's a type specimen, you may ask? Well when you describe a species, you need to have one specimen of that organism from which characteristics and features of the species description are drawn, and it needs to be stored in a collection where it can be accessed to compare characteristics and potentially DNA with future potential specimens. So even though this entire species grows all over the place and isn't only found in Peru, the name is a nod to the specimen which set the standard for the entire species name. It's pretty weird to think about using one individual as the standard when we know so much physical variation exists between members of the same species, right?

Scrolling through Ramalina sp. on iNaturalist, and I feel personally offended by the common name of this wonderful lichen 😅
