Again, tentative ID. Growing on Q. durata. Looks a lot like Disholcaspis chrysolepidis, but maybe different species on a different host?

Yay, my second Selaginella! Quite different fromt he S. wallacei I've seen in Marin, which grows on this one shady rock and is generally bigger and sprawling. This stuff was growing out of dry, exposed, rocky soil in a chaparral patch. Even saw some of the "cones"!

This is probably S. umbelliferum, but there were a bunch of plants growing nex to each other, all single, straight stems, unlike the more bushy S. umbelliferum I usually see.

Well, I think it's Andricus spectabilis. Certainly looks like galls it makes on other plants. This was on Q. durata.

This was a pretty cool-looking lichen. Deserved a tripod for a decent pic. I guess it's not going anywhere...

I had always assumed all the wolf lichen up around Eagle Peak was L. columbiana, but apparently that almost *always* has apothecia, so I guess this is it's sister. I guess I could be convinced the cruddy stuff on the surface are sorredia... Growing on dead CA juniper, just like L. columbiana, but not on the same tree.

This time last year this buckeye was leafing out. This year it's nowhere close.

Kind of a crap pic, but those little orange bumps intiruge me and give me some hope of identification. Growing on buckeye bark, lobs only a few mm.

The main lichen here is either Psora globifera or Psora californica. Squamule margins look down-turned to me, but there are also fissures. Growing on rock on a rocky ridge. Can anyone distinguish the two species based on this photo?
