Tortella inclinata

Shortleaf chalk moss, inclined twisted moss

Hey all, I have decided to transition to moss instead of lichens. I know this is a huge change and many of you will likely lose interest now that the focus of this blog has shifted so significantly, but I promise I will do my best to make moss as interesting as lichens. So please give a warm welcome to T. inclinata! This widespread, pioneer species grows on loose, calcareous substrates in sun-exposed habitats in cool-temperate regions. It has pale yellow-green stems and hooded, twisted leaves. It forms dense tufts up to 1 cm tall. This species is dioicous (has male and female parts on separate plant), and it forms curved ellipsoidal to cylindrical spore capsules in spring. So yeah, that's a moss for ya! Bryophytes are great and I totally like them more than lichens now.

(in case it isn't clear, this is an April Fool's joke and we will return to our regularly scheduled lichen posts tomorrow)

My unsolicited advice for the day:

Take a hike!

Go to the woods. Climb a mountain. See some cool rocks. Touch a lake. Hug a tree. Find a cool stick. Get away from noise. It’s great for your soul!

Never been? Do it anyway!

Hate walking? You need to go twice as much!

“I don’t live near a trail!” You almost certainly do, I promise you.

Physically disabled? There’s a network of adaptive trails for you to explore.

Leptogium azureum

Blue jellyskin lichen

I love when lichens get names like L. azureum and blue jellyskin lichen and then you look at them and are like . . . yeah maybe I would say its blue I guess? Like clearly whoever name L. azureum had been looking at a lot of dull-colored lichens before this one to come up with that name. This gelatinous, foliose lichen has broad, irregular lobes growing in large patches up to 9 cm in diameter. The upper surface is bluish-gray when dry, and darker blue-green when moist. The lower surface is paler gray and wrinkled with white hairs. It produces red-brown apothecia which grow on very short stalks and have a thalline margin around the disk. It has a cyanobacterial photobiont. L. azureum grows on acrid rock and bark in tropical and subtropical regions around the globe.

Take a Hike — Deborah Diamond

Fiber (cotton yarn), 18" x 24" x 2"

Presented at The deYoung Open 2023 (ID #377)

Listed for $1000 *

Artist statement:

While oil paint has been my primary medium, a few years ago I started experimenting with creating images using cotton yarn. I liked the effect of the textures and patterns that could be incorporated. My submission is a rendition of one of my oil paintings using yarn. The method is to apply yarn to board using archival glue. When the image is complete UV protectant is applied.

Deborah Diamond is a multimedia artist based in California. To view more of Deborah's work, visit deborahdiamond.com , or on Instagram @/deborahdiamondarts .

I am not an affiliate of The deYoung Museum, Deborah Diamond, or any of the artists featured in The deYoung Open 2023. I'm just posting to celebrate some amazing CA artists. If you are the artist and would like me to take this post down or add additional credit, please message me on Tumblr.

The deYoung Open is a triannual exhibition featuring artwork by California-Bay Area creators. The most recent exhibit was on display at The deYoung Museum in San Francisco from 09/30/2023 to 01/07/2024. To learn more and view a digital gallery of all 883 pieces that were featured, visit deyoungopen.artcall.org . And if you're an artist from Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, or Sonoma County, you should consider making a submission for 2026! Applications will probably go live in early June 2026, so you have some time to plan :)

* Listing price is shown on the deYoung Open website at time of writing. The artwork may no longer be available for sale.
