Bryoria subcana (images of British lichens)

Thallus fruticose, pale grey to greyish green, maybe tinged brown near the base, pendant, isotomically branched, hair-like. Scarce and mainly in the north, on coniferous and deciduous trees. Not always easy to distinguish from Bryoria fuscescens, and may be a variant of that species, but with soralia tuberculate only (not from fissures) and with different chemistry.
