Peeling alder bark for plant dye projects

Yes, I scraped most of the lichen off when peeling the bark; I haven't tried dyeing with this lichen yet. The alder bark itself produces fantastic red-browns. I guess it's personal preference,I find it nicest to peel the bark with a sharp knife. It peels off very easily too.
