Beard Lichens (Genus Usnea)Observer

I believe this either to be usnea wirthii (blood-spattered beard) or evernia prunastri (antlered perfume). I do not see the powdery balls near the tips of the lichen or it being red-spotted for it to be the first prediction. It grew on a deciduous, near conifers, at low elevation open forest.

Western Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton americanus)Observer
lhuynh10Description
Found in swampy water surrounded by a small hot spring under the shade of a Western Hemlock. It was difficult to mistake due to the increase amount in flies for pollination season and the distinct smell. The size was generally smaller than other Skunk Cabbages I've seen in wetlands although I'm surprised to find that they grow at this elevation (3252ft). They produce fruits that like berry-like and embedded in the fleshy flower spike.

Walking along near Pacific Street, a seagull was playing on the wind and landed on a lamp post.

I managed to get lost on the trail around the Nisqually Delta only to find these brilliant skunk cabbages in a secluded swamp area. There were around 100 of these plants in a small area.
