fertile Usnea, calling U. quasirigida need K test to confirm

fallen branch Acer macrophylum
WA Pk, Anacortes, Fidalgo Island, WA

fertile U. intermedia, I. florida and U. quasirigida only occasionally found in western Washington

&quot;This group is poorly studied and generally rare in PNW, except in the Coast Range of n Cal and near Bellingham*, Wash.&quot; U. quasirigida &quot;perhaps increasing in Whatcom and Skagit Cos&quot; - McCune, Bruce, and Geiser, Linda (2023) Macrolichens of the Pacific Northwest, Third Edition, Revised and Expanded) I suspect now more often noticed than in the past. - Collected some to attempt species determination - interesting that when became dry in my house the apothecia shriveled such that they would be much less noticeable - so possibly more common than otherwise indicated.

* about 15 miles north of Fidalgo Island

&quot;Though most Usnea species are not so easy to identify, the genus itself is readily recognized by the characteristic tough, thread-like central cord.&quot; - Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast
Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and Alaska — Revised (1994) by Jim Pojar and Andy MacKinnon

&quot;Despite recent work on the taxonomy of Usnea, it remains one of the most difficult genera of lichens, apart from a few well-defined species. - McCune, Bruce, and Geiser, Linda (2023) Macrolichens of the Pacific Northwest, Third Edition, Revised and Expanded

now, besides Tønsberg collection on Shaw Island, this and my previous observations seems to indicate not rare on Fidalgo Island (and probably elsewhere in Salish Sea)

I took Amtrak Throughway Bus to Seattle. The morning train is a bit too early for me. The buses bring more choices and they can also carry bicycles. The bike goes on the front rack and my panniers are carryon luggage.

On my way south from Bellingham.

Two litres to five litres sounds like a bad idea to me.
