So, the past few posts have been about a supposed lichen that i found while wandering around outside of my local YMCA. the major question has been, is this a sweet blue lichen or paint?
Roughly twenty four hours ago i posted a picture of the substance in question on inaturalist.org. within an hour there was a response from "rockerboo". Rockerboo gave an opinion that differs from mine, but I'm not an expert, he/she had many posts and was kind enough to try and help me, so we will go with it. Rockerboo said "The lichen looks like a green shield, and the blue looks like paint". At this time no other comments have been posted.
I wont deny being disappointed, i really wanted to find some new species that i could give some funky name too. Oh well maybe next time.
Well let’s pretend what are ya gonna name it? Name it after something based on bio or something completely different. Keep me posted and I wonder if Rockerboo is off their rocker or right.
ReplyDeleteWould have been awesome to discover something new but keep looking! I'm sure you'll be able to find something cool. It must be difficult to tell especially with all of the human interaction around the YMCA but maybe that's something you can play with in later posts.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably paint on lichen. I ordered a lichen identification book from amazon and it will be in on Tuesday. IF this blue lichen isn't in there, you can declare it a new species, but you must name it after me.
