The brilliant warm reds and oranges of the fall foliage against the cool

It is a cool morning, we are looking northeast from the Westside Road, and to the left we can see
low lying misty clouds slowly dissipating in the warmth of the rising autumn sun.

Wolf
Lichen - Westside Road
(Letharia vulpina)
This
mossy green wolf lichen growing on a weathered gray tree stump near the Westside
Road caught my eye.
These small shrub shaped lichens, which form tufts on dead conifers in the
open areas, share an interesting history.
Indigenous peoples used the mossy colored lichen as dye for clothing and
decorative items as well as body paint.
In northern Europe wolf lichen was
formerly used to make wolf poison, hence the name wolf lichen.
It's Latin genus name , letharia vulpina, indicates it is poisonous
(lethal) containing vulpinic acid.
