One of the rarest lichens on Earth, Erioderma pedicellatum (Boreal Felt Lichen). The two main populations that remain are near my home town in #Newfoundland, Canada. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends

I was perusing through maps around Quesnel Lake in the BC Cariboo, and you can see the cloudy deposits from the Mt. Polley mine tailings pond dam burst in Quesnel Lake and Polley Lake. Just follow the light lines downhill from the mine. Fun times, Canada.
