Thirteen years of moss and lichen growth.

I have completed (mostly) my first Multiboard project. These are a few of my favorite tools. The most import tool is center top below the shelf bracket. Multiboard has a confusing multitude of options. I focused solely on snaps and friction fits, a strategy that kept me from getting overwhelmed.

The gift I received today, creatively wrapped with a Trader Joe's shopping bag.

I spotted a colony of about ten of these guys growing on 2 year old wood debris from an arborist's pruning project. Ramaria? Artomyces? Growing in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon.

When the power company cleared their right of way through my land last fall, I rescued this lichen. I lopped the branches from the doomed trees and used zip ties to relocate them to my orchard. As winter's cool and wet weather set in, they started to fruit. Pseudocyphellaria anomala(?)

An Oregon winter forest scene draped with what I believe to be Ramalina menziezii. (Correction welcome) This is a narrow stretch of woods along a steep draw between the oak savanna of the Corvallis Marys River Natural Area Park and the channel of the Marys River.

In general, I find only one slime mold per year. This is number six since the beginning of November. It's growing on the same wood chip pile from my last two postings. About a month ago, there was another slime mold of a different color very close to the same location.

Not all of my mazes are huge, impenetrable, and hopelessly difficult. This is #67, the White Water Mountain Biking maze from 2019. There is no designated entrance nor exit. As there is exactly one path between any two points, choose your own adventure. See 67.twobraids.art for more information.

Maze #90 - Cedar Pollen Cone Maze. The right image is the solution and deadend path analysis. Green & red are solutions. Other colors show long blind paths to deceive even when trying to solve the maze backwards. I like the complexity hidden behind this maze. http://90.twobraids.art

Today, the slime mold from yesterday post is in a new phase. It has an amazing texture reminiscent of a sponge or the extrusive volcanic rock called pumice.

Posted 12th Nov 2023r/Slimemolds

This slime mold is from the other side of the same wood debris pile as my images from yesterday. This one looks like discarded vanilla tapioca. I'll go back out before dark to see how this one changed over the course of the day...

I spotted this one on the wood chip pile. It appears to be the same type as the one I saw last week in the field. Two hours later, it was just gone - it didn't leave all the little bulbous fruiting bodies like last week's. I wish I had a time lapse camera...

Strolling across the field in the calm between rainstorms, I saw an unusual texture in the grass that I mowed several days ago. The leaves of a narrow leaf plantain, clover, and grass were artfully festooned with cream colored dots. Closer inspection revealed 1000s of slime mold fruiting bodies.

There is only one place on my property where Pseudocyphellaria anomala (?) grows. The power company is about to destroy all these trees in the cause of fire safety. I cannot dispute that. I'm considering cutting the doomed branches and tying them to trees in similar shady areas. Suggestions, anyone?

Solution and Blind Path Analysis of the Pandora Poppy Maze.

Posted 1st Oct 2023r/mazes

From a rough sketch of an amaryllis bloom, I drew 7995 individual line segments. In lockstep, I made a digital painting of the bloom. I wrote a poem about the bloom and embedded it within the pathways by connecting segments. I planned and connected the solutions and finished the Red Amaryllis Maze.

Moss and Lichen on a Plum Branch. Who is overtaking whom? I found this broken twig on the ground under one of my orchard plum trees. After photographing it in my workshop/studio, I returned the twig to the orchard.

This maze was inspired by a latte served in 2016 at Tried & True Coffee in Corvallis, Oregon. The fascinating fluid flows and the turbulence called for this joyful study of complexity in the form of a maze. You can download full resolution using the link to my blog in the first comment.

On returning home after a trans North America motorcycle trip, I hung this helmet on the bike shed door as a monument to the adventure. Eleven years later, the lichen/moss garden is finally established. blog post at: https://www.twobraids.com/2020/06/the-helmet-of-2012.html

A 4K worksheet version of #83 - the Phantom Galaxy Maze. In my brief time hand drawing very large mazes, I have yet to hear of anyone solving one them (sans computer assistance). There is exactly one path between any two points, pick your own entry/exit or try my suggested path arrows.

I keep a table in the orchard to collect interesting lichen after storms bring down branches. Some of these branches have been on the table for years. Eventually, branches rot away and make room for more lichen refugees.

More of the same Physcia specimen - it's amazing how much lichens swell up after a rain

likely of the genus Physcia - the specimen was found in the debris from a winter pruning project in our fruit orchard.
