Lichens of Nome, Alaska

Lichens of Alaska, Part III: Nome

Pannaria pezizoides surrounded by Stereocaulon sp.


Candelariella aurella with Lecanora sp. and unknown Collemataceae.


Bryocaulon divergens with Alectoria ochroleuca  and Cladonia spp.


Lichen-covered igloo mounds on the tundra.


Ochrolechia upsaliensis with Flavocetraria spp. and Cladonia sp.


Xanthoria-covered rocks overhanging clear waters.


Thanks for all the interest in my photos.  A nice field photo accompanied by a good specimen can have great scientific and educational value, so I encourage everyone to snap and collect (with permission, of course)!
