Pictures about the nature of North-Finland: year 2001
Autumn is coming: shoots of bog bilberry (Vaccinium uliginosum) with spider webs and drops of water.
In the background a twig of spruce (Picea abies), where yellowish sporangia of spruce-marsh ledum blight (Chrysomyxa ledi).
Although the autumn approaching, august-september is the best growing season for lichens: it is water, light and warmth sufficiently for lichens.
In this picture: Cetraria islandica (brown, big), and two reindeer lichens: Cladina rangiferina (right down) and Cl. stellaris (right up).
