Usnea sp. in Northern BC
Usnea sp. in Northern BC
Stopped off on an old logging road to get a photo of this lichen and realized I almost walked into a moose, its tracks were so fresh the water was still pooling into them.

Moss is lichen? The PNW is an absolute haven for lichen, then.

Spanish moss is a plant. This is a lichen that looks like it. I got confused too, but searching for both the moss and Usnea on wikipedia cleared it.

I think this lichen and a couple others are often called moss or have moss in the common name but they are Lichens.

Nice pic!
And very lucky with the moose.
