Peterson, E. B. 2010 Conservation Assessment with Management Guidelines for Peltigera hydrothyria Miadlikowska & Lutzoni (a.k.a. Hydrothyria venosa J. L. Russell).  Report by the California Native Plant Society for the U.S. Forest Service.

PEHYmodel-GIS.zip (view in ESRI ArcGIS Explorer, QGIS, or other GIS software)

Note: Hydrothyria venosa was transferred to the genus Peltigera as P. hydrothyria.  More recently, P. hydrothyria was split with the original name being kept for eastern populations while western populations became Peltigera gowardii (Lendemer & O’Brien 2011).  The paper that split the two showed genetic evidence that populations in the Sierra/Cascades may be a third lineage… so stay tuned – there may be another name change on the way!

Meet at 12 noon at the Lake Lagunitas parking lot at the end of Sky Oaks Road off Bolinas Road in Fairfax. Parking passes are required. For more information contact volunteerprogram@marinwater.org or 415-945-1128. No reservations are required.

Additional Note:  There is a habitat restoration event scheduled from 9-12, meeting at the location described above.  If you help with the restoration work you can get a free parking pass for the day.  Check out the Water District’s link:

Lichen Workshop and Fieldtrip introducing the Stanford Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve is rescheduled for Saturday, February 25. We will meet for a walk at 10 AM at the Docent Center to look at lichens with members of the California Lichen Society, returning to the center for a bag lunch (bring your own). Lunch will be followed by a hands-on identification workshop in the classroom, using keys, hand lenses, and microscopes (equipment will be provided), and a short talk. Workshop led by Bill Hill and others from CALS and by Diane Renshaw, JRBP docent. The event will end around 3:00PM.
Please RSVP Diane Renshaw or 650 948 3537 to attend, for more details, and get directions. Access is through a controlled gate.

As of our meeting in January, 2005, the following species are open for sponsorship and of high interest to us:

Please do not post precise locations of at-risk species here, as this discussion board is public and searchable from google!  As the administrator of the site, the one form of censorship I plan to practice will be removal of precise location information for at-risk species when I notice it in posts or if others notify me of them!

If you want to communicate a location to another user of these discussions, you can probably find their email address in the membership list, or even get to their profile by clicking their name at the upper-left of the message.  Or, you can leave a post asking them to get back to you.  Or, since the lichen community is relatively small, you can probably find their contact information some other way pretty easily.

Thanks,
-Eric

CALS Conservation Committee Lists

This is a set of lists of lichen taxa for which the California Lichen Society’s Conservation Committee is seeking information.
There is no implication that inclusion on this list indicates rarity of the taxon in California until the species is formally accepted
to a numbered list other than list 3 (more information needed)!  The black box list is under development through a largely
brainstorming process with rejection of only species clearly known to not appropriately fit a numbered list.

CALIFORNIA LISTINGS
1A: Presumed Extinct in CA
[none can be placed here before April, 2006]

1B: Rare, Threatened, or Endangered in CA and elsewhere
[none can be placed here before April, 2006]

2:  Rare Threatened, or Endangered in CA, more common elsewhere
[none can be placed here before April, 2006]

3: need more info (these have base sponsorship information developed and CALSCC has agreed for them to
proceed, but they await further info for placement on other numbered)
[none can be placed here before Oct, 2005]

4: limited distribution (watch list)
[none can be placed here before April, 2006]

THE BLACK BOX: These are species that have been largely ‘brainstormed’ as worthy of sponsorship.  CALSCC has
made only minimal effort to reject species at this point.  INCLUSION ON THIS LIST SHALL NOT BE INTERPRETED
AS IMPLYING RARITY OR ANY CONSERVATION STATUS.

About the Preserve: Huckleberry Preserve has a relic plant association similar to vegetation now found on the islands off the Santa Barbara coast. The rocks are of Claremont shale/chert formation that can be seen as hard, brittle bands with soil that has a low poor water holding capacity.

Lichens are found in the bay laurel/oak/chinquapin/manzanita assemblage. There are many Cladonia spp. on the soil. On a visit in May 2010, we saw the following along with numerous others.

Parmelia hygrophila

Parmotrema K+Y medulla = P. perlatum; K- = P. arnoldii

Ramalina farinacea

Hypogymnia physodes

Cladonia chlorophaea group

Cetraria orbata  = Tuckermannopsis orbata

Hypogymnia tubulosa

Cladonia squamosa Medulla UV-, K+Y, P+Y = var. squamosa

Cladonia bellidiflora

Cladonia spp.
