Xanthoria parietina finally get drunk



The weather has cooled (hopefully into a temp range that allows X. parietina to gain more calories than it loses while photosynthesizing; there doesn't seem to be much research on the subject) and I have, at long last, rehydrated the yellow things!

Also, I retract my statements about the iridescent gametophyte using condensation to iridesce (though it does seem to require water to do so nevertheless). I also noticed it becoming non-iridescent in sufficiently bright light; I had previously believed it became more (not less) iridescent when well-illuminated.
