Under The Lens
Four lichens to start with – hand lens required
The twig in this photo shows a nice display of some common crustose twig lichens. You will need a wide display to view them all. Twig lichens don’t last too long as the twig changes pH as it grows or as soon as it falls to the ground. These lichens are fussy about the pH of the substrate (acid to basic). Check on the species in detail in the A-Z listing.
