The more i read about lichens the less i understand. Way more complicated than just Algae/ fungi symbiosis. Its good when nature makes you go WTF.

 

Indeed. The fact that Algae has at least four different patterns of lifecycle is pretty crazy.

 

We humans think we're so clever with our machines, our computers and our AI, but we're not a patch on the natural world. We'll never be able to create that level of complexity.

We are working in an Alder carr,  making it wetter. Some trees are covered in Alder tongue, but the majority have none.

Interesting, we have an alder carr farm shop near us that we regularly go to….never actually knew an ‘alder carr’ was an actual thing till I just googled it.
