Ephebe hispidula Hairy thread lichen This lichen is very texture. Like think of a texture, and E. hispidula probably has it. Descriptions I have found include pannose (the texture of felt or woolen cloth), spiny, filamentous, hair-like, beard-like, jelly-like (only when moist), and my personal favorite, ‘Brillo-pad’ texture. It has a dark olive to brown to black, fruticose thallus of short, lateral branchlets. E. hispidula grows on damp, siliceous rocks in the northern hemisphere, adding a little pop of texture to the world since probably like, 40 MYA or whatever. images: source | source | sourceinfo: source | source -- source link
