No fake spiderwebs here, just some ethically collected usnea!

Lichen is a natural way to create various colors for your textile and craft projects depending on the type you forage and how you process it. Beard, wolf & lungwort (usnea, letharia vulpina & lobaria pulmonaria) are great lichen to start with since they are often blown away from their host and more easily collected from the forest floor. This tutorial will show the boiling water method of making dye from each type of lichen, as well as the resulting color swatch samples (wool, silk, bamboo & cotton).

Usnea acromelana 

Black-beard lichen

In honor of the premier of Our Flag Means Death season 2, let me introduce Black-beard lichen--yes, really. U. acromelana is a fruticose lichen that grows on rocky outcrops and pavement in Antarctica, South America, Australia, and New Zealand! It has thin, scraggly branches that grow up to 5 cm long. These branches are yellow toward the basal holdfast, and are violet-black and cracked toward the branch ends where it produces granular soredia. And just like OFMD Blackbeard, it carries one gun and one knife at all times. Just like everyone else.

Usnea strigosa, satellite dish witches hair lichen/ common tree beard, in my region this is perhaps the most common Usnea species and easiest to recognize do to the branching and even easier with apothecia being so large and terminal.

Some finds from a walk today.

1. Blackbird nest. The branch/small tree it was in had been blown down by recent storm, but the eggs were still warm to the touch so they must still be being incubated. Very cool.

2. Lacarrius sp. mushroom.

3. Usnea sp. or ‘beard lichen’. They were a lot greener in person but the exposure of my camera was fucked.

4. A weird little man formed from the roots of a tree growing around another species. He looks like a gross little goblin child I like him a lot.
