Mission Description
Lichens are fascinating composite organisms of a fungus and photosynthetic partner. They exhibit a nearly endless array of form and structure, adapted to an equally vast number of environments. This mission will focus on those found in the Southeast.
Mission Instructions
Only Lichens from the Southeast will be accepted. Please provide a clear picture, accurate location, habitat, and substrate. Let's have fun while we explore the world of lichens together.
A couple of excellent resources for discovering the identity of your lichen;
