Lichen



Lichen is a type of fungus and algae that is typically found on trees. The green blobs on the tree in the photo above are lichen. Lichen tends to grow in places where plant cannot grow, like on the tree bark in the above photo. Types of lichen include fruticose, foliose, and crustose lichen.
