Lichen on a Stick

    Now that all the jungle of leaves have fallen from the underbrush, the various forms of lichen that grow in the Robson Valley become more obvious as I walk through the woods.  Above is a stick covered with Old Man’s Beard lichen and below are some sticks covered with the Lungwort lichen.  While these two grow all year round it is usually in the spring and fall when they catch my eye.
