Speaking of boreal rainforest lichens, another very charismatic indicator species is Pseudocyphellaria citrina (NO gullprikklav). It is vulnerable on the Norwegian red list and recognizable by its golden spots and lines on and otherwise brown surface. Here from Grong, in the middle of Norway.

Get in touch if you are planning to attend @nordicoikos.bsky.social and considering sharing your #forest #ecology work using #remotesensing. I'm working on a thematic session proposal. 🧪🌍🔭🌳🌲

Last year, Helene from @biofokus.bsky.social found a fungi growing on the lichen that had not been seen in Norway before: www.nrk.no/buskerud/fan...

Usnea longissima can get really long, but disperses quite slowly as was found in this study from Sweden: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I am going to try to post a new picture of something nice in the forest every (work) day of January this year as well! First up: The queen of the forest, Usnea longissima (NO huldrestry). Here from Noresund, Norway. An old-growth forest lichen that needs moist conditions.
