Not having much time to check it in detail I snapped a quick = pic and kept trekking to the next box. Later, at home, I was able to get a = pretty solid ID. I call it the purple thread lichen. All the best. =20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 =20 Fritz has a file to share with you on OneDrive.= To view it, click the link below. = Date= : Sun, 20 Jul 2014 09:50:56 -0400 Subject: Re: [NatureNS] lichen- correct ID? From: dbmcc09@gmail.com To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Nancy: I have frequently admired the orange/yellow lichens along the coast, but have never tried to figure out what species th= ey are. =20 This morning I did a little searching. I found three interesting sources, = all suggest it is Xanthoria, likely X. parietina, but that there are a few other species in the genus in NS. =20 Frances Anderson, associate with the NS Museum, has looked at lichens in several locations in NS. Of interest here= is a manuscript: =91Lichens of West Ironbound Island, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia=92 from October 2009 = (http://kccns.org/include/docs/west_ironbound_lichens.pdf). It includes a = description of habitats and which lichens are associated with each habitat. =20 Patricia and James Hinds have studied the lichens of Maine, including Xanthoria, see =91The lichen genus Xanthoria in Maine.=92 The Maine Naturalist (forerunner of Northeastern Naturlaist) 1(1): 1-16. Yes the very first paper in the first issue of what is now the Northeastern Naturalist! http://www.jstor.o= rg/discover/10.2307/3858193?uid=3D3739432&uid=3D2&uid=3D3737720&uid=3D4&sid= =3D21104360834137 =20 An amazing resource I came across was the lichen section of the digitalmycology website.=20 http://lichens.digitalmycology.com/macrolichens/Xanthoria.html. Great phot= os and far more information than I can comfortably process on a summer Sunday morning.
