Episode 29: Old man’s beard is killing my tree.
The lichen old man’s beard is found in many parts of Northwestern Ontario. In this episode I chat about old man’s beard with my friend Brian Jones. Contrary to what you may guess, old man’s beard doesn’t kill trees, it only lives on spruce and fir branches, as an epiphyte or errr epic fight.Â
Episode 2: Edible Spruce.
