This has been discussed off and on for many years by NW Lichenologists, but so far no action on it -- there has been more demand on the west side of the Cascades.

Yes, I see what you mean. That part is a little cartoonish and the textural contrast of the soralia isn't showing. Thanks.

Looks pretty good. How would you refine it?

So Jesse, can you say what it was that got your attention? Can this be bottled and distributed?

I've never seen pyracea with a well developed neatly lobate thallus like this. Not sure what it is.

Pancakes? Looks like pumpkin pies (maybe not eaten in Scotland?); this is what we call Ochrolechia in western North America.

Ha. Got a grin out of that.

Thanks for the explanation. I take this as an Aesthetic Challenge. I will think about this as a former b/w photographer and darkroom enthusiast, which I did as much for financial and technological reasons as anything.

Yoshihito, I am curious about your choice to go consistently with grayscale rather than color. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks!

Wow, fixed already in Index Fungorum. Lecanora phryganitis lives.

from Frank Bungartz (CLH): “This to me looks like a glitch in Index Fungorum that we probably just applied routinely in the Consortium. Especially if there is molecular evidence that it is closer to Lecanora we should change it.” See Lendemer 2013 Mycol. 105:994. Nothing to do with Teloschistaceae

Great photo. Suprised to see this assigned to Polycauliona in the Teloschistaceae. Species Fungorum and CLH and both show the current name as Polycauliona. But blasting the existing mtSSU in GB comes out to other usnic-containing Lecanora, such as L. symmicta. Does anyone know why Polycauliona?
