January 26, 2024 Lichen and Common Haircap Moss at SAFF.

Found along the southern wet weather gully on Fern Trail. Common Haircap Moss. We saw these all along the trail.

Turban cup lichen also growing along Fern Trail near the southern wet weather gully.

We went out today and found these interesting moss and lichen. We also found mushrooms and walked along the bottom flood plain. The water had washed away the leaves and we could see the rich soil. It was warm in the mid seventies and smelled like spring.

We cut down several diseased black cherry trees and loaded it all into the truck and brought it home to burn.
