Hey tumblr, you want some… LICHEN STICKERS?!

I know you do, so I have taken it upon myself to see to this pressing societal need by getting some lichen stickers made. No, no, don’t rush to thank me. I was happy to provide this service to humanity. I am going to be giving away three sets of these stickers. How can you get a set for yourself? Follow these easy steps! 

1. Reblogs and likes of this post are worth one entry each. 

2. You can get an extra entry by posting a photo you took of lichen or other fungi you have seen out and about on your adventures. Make sure you tag me or message me a link to the post here on tumblr so I can count your extra entry!

3.Double check that you have your ask box open so I can contact you in case you win! 

You have until November 1st to enter. I will post the winners once they have been chosen as well as contact them for their mailing addresses then. If you win but I don’t hear back from you within a week of contacting you I will pick a replacement winner. Good luck, and I hope to see lots of great lichen and fungi from you all!

“The simplest and most lumpish fungus has a peculiar interest to us, compared with a mere mass of earth, because it is so obviously organic and related to ourselves, however remote. It is the expression of an idea; growth according to a law; matter not dormant, not raw, but inspired, appropriated by spirit…the humblest fungus betrays a life akin to our own. It is a successful poem in its kind.”
