Lichens on a stick. The white/grey lichen is a Hypogymnia and the yellow lichen is, I think, a Xanthoria (sunburst) lichen. NWT, Canada. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends @jeffontherock.bsky.social #globalmuseum #lichens #plants

"certain lichen species preferentially colonize exposed dinosaur bones, creating distinctive spectral signatures that can be detected from 30 m above ground using drones... This likely occurs because the bones provide the alkaline, calcareous, and porous substrates the lichens favor... This pattern has been noted for decades, but never quantified until now"
