Xanthoria or bust (continued)

 

I am pleased to report that I went to a coastal urban park and got my hands on Xanthoria parietina last Sunday! My painful lack of specimens is finally over!

I also discovered that its preferred temperatures during photosynthesis were way lower than I thought. I'm keeping my specimens dehydrated (and thus dormant) until my new mini refrigerator arrives.

Stay tuned I guess.

Update: forgot to post pic of park. Here:
