Learning To Lichen!


Umbilicaria esculenta (Japanese: Iwatake; Korean: Seogi) are collected from cliffs for use in a variety of traditional Korean and Japanese foods. Lichen flour is used by the Tarahumara as an ingredient of Tesguino. These last few weeks have been spent wandering the surrounding areas with a 104 year old friend from Japan. We hope to have gathered enough lichen for all who attend the first race in the Blazing Saddles Series, starting this week (Thursday).
