Very Large book of Lichens of North America, pictured on book orange Lichens, blueish gray folios lichens, By IRWIN BRODO SYLVIA DURAN SHARNOFF STEPHEN SHARNOFF

I've been enjoying studying this book, I borrowed from the Library.

I very much enjoy Library services by mail, we live far out in the woods and it allows us to read allot of cool books.

I heard Mark Carney cut the funding for Library Mail, and that's sad

My bf does a survey every week for the Catalan Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, and yesterday he snapped these beauties: a green hairstreak, and a brimstone. Aren't they pretty!

Clear jars filled with sugar maple sap hang off maple trees, a bit of snow, and brown leaves and the ground, more trees in the background and the golden setting sun rays

Gleaming Jars hanging in the sugar maple trees bring the sweet cold climate reward

Good luck! I had originally purchased a trio, Aurora, and some other cultivars, I also started some from seed of fruit found at the supermarket, I cold treated the seeds, but someone said you don't need to cold stratify hascap seeds. 🍓😃

Even in frozen temperatures, tiny secret green elf cup fungi lurk on the underside of green wood

Several small yellow frogs in an aquarium with vegetation.

Panamanian Golden Frog

This species was decimated by an aquatic fungal pathogen and is now assumed to be extinct in the wild.

Green leaves, yelloiw fuzzy honeysuckle flowers

Hascaps don't thrive in hot zones, I'm in cold zone 4 also 😃 here are the flowers of the hascap berry May 13th🌱💚

Hascap berries, also known as honey berry, in the honeysuckle family, the taste is sometimes compared to a mix of blueberry and raspberry 🌱😁🍓

Yes, it likes it hot too. 🌱

Or at least what we tell ourselves, it could be worse, I wish it was melted but not fast enough 🌬☃️💙🌱

It's fun to have spiky food 🌱

Thank you so much 🌱💚

I got some good field guides, some mushrooms are easy to identify, and have no deadly poisonous look alikes...🍄🌱💚

Very nice! 🌱💚

A pair of Green-pea Mushroom Lichen, Lichenomphalia umbellifera, spectacularly tower over their stump-mates comprised mainly of at least 2 other species of lichen as well as a decent smattering of moss.

Check out that stunning pair of Green-pea Mushroom Lichen spectacularly towering above the stump they and their other lichen and moss buddies call home. #Lichen #Moss

Late fall flowers, I like to take pictures with frost crystals and pretend they are tricomes
