Usnea species on dying larch twig

Usnea species on dying larch twig
Usnea is a genus of mostly pale grayish-green fruticose lichens that grow like leafless mini-shrubs or tassels anchored on bark or twigs. The genus is in the family Parmeliaceae. It grows all over the world.

Members of the genus are commonly called old man's beard, or beard lichen.

Final total of crowd funding is $29,180 USD raised by 549 people. Many thanks to all who have contributed. We look forward to a decision soon.

We have an endless variety of lichens here, not always easy to identify. Some of them are absolutely dependent though on pure air and water and are a kind of touchstone for the quality of the water and air.

It could be Spanish moss, Tillandsia usneoides, you are thinking of, George. It often grows upon larger trees in tropical and subtropical climates. You may be interested to know that the species name, usneoides, means resembling Usnea.
