Each pack will contain a mixture of lichen types. Each order is unique as each lichen will vary. Lichen derives from algae and fungi and make a beautiful addition to any fairy garden, terrarium, or decoration. The possibility of using lichen can be endless! Lichen is usually all green but there are some species that have red, black, or blue. If there is a specific type that you are looking for just send a message. I am always happy to help. I collect the lichen from my 78 acre property and there are endless supplies all around. Let me take part in creating with you!
It turns out a second fungus — a hidden yeast — makes the union even stronger.
When you see lichens growing on a stone or tree, you know that you are seeing something aged. Lichens are a symbiotic organism using a partner to live.
Lichen are not plants! They are a composite of bacteria or algae growing symbiotically in a network of fungi.

To Canadian Museum of Nature cryptogam enthusiast Cassandra Robillard they are small, fascinating and loveable. But for most people, a look at the botany assistant’s favourite organisms draws the question: What's that?

Lichens grow everywhere, from the Arctic tundra to the bark of trees in common backyards
I'm intrigued by the range of ecological relationships that exist. We like to make neat distinctions between mutualist and parasite that apply to all individuals in a given relationship, but there's no intrinsic reason why they'd all be the same. While identifying these British Soldier Lichens I ran across this: Some scientists think Cladonia cristatella is a parasite of Trebouxia erici, using up its food but not giving much back to the algae. Since Trebouxia erici can live on its own, or with another lichen, it doesn't really need Cladoina cristatella. Other scientists believe the two organisms have a mutualistic relationship, since they both seem to do better with each other, rather than on their own.

Lichens are an association between various species of fungi and algae. The orange mushroom-like growths here are apothecia, fruiting bodies of the fungus. This may be a Teloschistes species. It's growing on a dead misquite twig. Onion Creek Greenbelt, Austin.
Many outdoor photographers will often see a great opportunity for an interesting foreground when they come across a patch of moss (as you can see from the images below). But moss or lichen can also be great subjects themselves. These 50 photos of moss and lichen show what can be done with a little imagination when you're in the great outdoors.
