Identificaciones de emmaj4

• Found in mixed second growth forest with a dense understory, and semi-dense overstory, moist
• acrocarp with tufted life form
• falcate-secund leaf arrangement
• leaves dark green in color
• leaves linear and curling towards the end, incurved origin, margin entire, costa present but unclear of type, alar cells appear hyaline, margins elimbate
• cells rectangular to quadrate, bistratose
• sporophyte with yellow seta and capsule with reddish peristome teeth
• substrate: bark of living Pseudotsuga menziesii
• weather: sunny

• Overcast when collected, started to rain just afterward.
• Collected in a residential area from a street tree. Same species, along with a few species of moss, covered this and nearby trees.
• Very dry and clumpy, seems to be rooted directly to the bark.

Yellow to green moss. Found everywhere on the ground. Very common. Large, almost 3 inch long branch. Serrate leaves. Costa doesn't make it to apex. Elongate cells. Pleurocarp that forms a mat or weft on soil. Fern like branching.

Elevation: 60ft AMSL
Ecology: Early successional stage. Disturbed/developed site. Moderate to open canopy. Hardwood dominant overstory.
Associations: Alnus rubra, Thuja plicata, Oemleria cerasiformis, Polystichum munitum, Cladonia spp, Parmelia spp, Hypogymnia spp, Menegazzia spp, Isothecium stoloniferous, and other bryophytes.

• Mixed second-growth forest, conifer and deciduous
• Trees: Acer macrophyllum, Thuja picata, Alnus rubra, Pseudotsuga menziesii
• Vegetation: Polystichum munitum, Gaultheria shallon, Mahonia aquifolium, Hylocomium splendens
• Thallus: fruitcose, growing in a tuft, light gray/whitish in color, many slender branchlets that broke off easily on main branches, terminal apothecia present on branchlets
• Photobiont: green algae
• Substrate: decaying broken branch shared with crust lichen
• Weather: cool, humid, overcast

Growing on same ponderosa branch as H. physodes, Parmelia sulcata, an Usnea, and a small flame lichen (unidentified).
Distinctive soralia are textbook H. tubulosa. Spot tests K+Y on cortex and medulla; P- on both.

Found on the side of the stairway at Evergreen, almost missed it due to its ability to blend in with leaf litter. The thallus is foliose and loosely appresses to its soil substrate. Upper surface is a darker grayish green color while the underside is drastically white with numerous long, slender rhizines. There are distinct narrow veins on the underside of the lobes that causes the top of the lobes to look indented. There are also distinct organish brown apothecia surrounding the margins of the lobes.

Weather: ~60° F - clear skies. Rain earlier in the day.
Environment: found near open field near trail. Several foxglove individuals present. Pictured individual stood out due to uncommon coloration of flowers. Few trees overhead: primarily P. menseizii, but T. heterophylla also present.
