Lichen Cathedral
Somewhere on the Geikie river in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada; July 2021. I didn’t quite know what I was in for, going ‘up-river’ was a vague concept until we did it for a week, then the rock-climbing gear made sense. I distinctly remember a moment, waist-deep in rapids, towing a fully laden canoe - like a sled dog in a warm blizzard; pausing to ponder a crossing, again, admiring the little green troopers that held my tenuous outcrop long before me; and grateful that my camera was attached by a steel mitten-string.
Our guide marked the river on Google Maps:

Rhizines?
Are the little white wispy things rhizines or just animal hair? New at identifying lichens and it said one way to distinguish species from another is looking at if they have rhizines or not. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Frost-like lichen, Yangmingshan NP, Taiwan
It was very tiny, hard to capture, but pretty sure it was lichen of some type.
Also, my first lichen post. Very glad to find this community! Been taking lichen pics for years just because…well…lichen is awesome.

5% KOH solution on Xanthoria parietina
Just mixed our first batch of KOH and had to test it out. This lichen had been treated with some glycerin (to keep it pliable when dry) so the stain wasn't as dramatic as the untreated stuff.
