Really happy to spot these fab Earthtongues at my favourite local #excolliery! Deceptive Earthtongue, Geoglossum fallax I think but very happy to be corrected! 🖤

Have you ever seen an oak tree dance?
Britain is full of 'lost' rainforests, predominantly in the southwest and northwest of England, west Wales and the west coast of Scotland. There are other areas where the conditions are perfect too, like this one in the Peak District National Park.
When the rain starts and the cloud base drops into the rainforest, the trees come alive. Everywhere you look, there is magic and mystery.
No matter our differences, we can all try to get along...

@Waterbarnes kudos to you. My academic friends keep asking if I ever think I might go back. And the answer is maybe, but under a whole lot of conditions and special circumstances and with real pay. Loved it, really missed my students this weekend, but nothing else. Bittersweet memories
on Friday, a #mentor of mine told me how #brave I was to leave my #tenured position - how it #inspired her to rethink the next season of her life. I share because it meant SO much to me. It's also a reminder that #mentorship is not unidirectional. Thx Beth 💜
@idropyou nice work. What did you finish it with?
All done with this one. Needed a new entryway table since we changed things with the new floor. Made from willow a neighbor cut down. Rough cut with a chainsaw, then made to resemble a table. Just polyurethane over it. #woodworking
Second survey of the year for the lichen Teloschistes chrysophthalmus, this time on Castle Hill NNR, Brighton, Sussex. They're found on a few Hawthorn trees here.
The photos show how variable the lichen can be. In the top 2 photos the lichen has few apothecia (spore-producing fruits) and a lot of spiky edges called spinules, which make it look like a small fluffy ball from a distance. The bottom photos show the more commonly found bright orange fruits. #LichenSubscribe #lichen #fungi
