Great to know the course is going well. These lichens really need more attention.

Was great to team up with Woodlands.co.uk and Tom Hartwell to produce a short #lichen series in one of my favourite woodlands on #Dartmoor ( #Devon ). Full video can be watched here: youtu.be/YnyxpY8V-GI?si…

Lucky you! Enjoy.

Is this a more common sight now or are people just noticing it more? Climate change? Loss of Sulphur dioxide pollution?

Fantastic to see pupils introduced to lichens. If you have the time and enthusiasm to work with youngsters, have a look at our Tom Chester Award grant. Schools can apply to help with any costs. britishlichensociety.org.uk/the-society/me…

Great to host friend & colleague Jesse Miller (Jesse Miller @texosporium.bsky.social), exploring one of #Dartmoor ’s finest temperate rainforests. Jesse lives in the Pacific North West (America) and is President of California Lichens, so was fascinating to explore similarities and differences within this biome.

Lichen colonising a tightly defined rectangle on this metal pole. Possibly occupying leftover glue from a sticker?

This is Ricasolia (Lobaria) virens, a lichen that's also sometimes known as dragon-skin, and you can see why! The brown shapes are fruiting bodies that release spores, and they're called apothecia. #ScotlandsRainforest is a real stronghold for lichens like this.
