Field Notes

Habitat:

This was a beautiful wooded area. We trekked along a river that lead to a waterfall. It was cool and relaxing.

This is a very cool organism. Q. Why is Lobaria put in the "other organisms" grouping of Project Noah? A. Because it is a "symbiosis involving members of three 'kingdoms' of organisms: an ascomycete fungus and a green algal partner living together in a symbiotic relationship with a cyanobacterium". Take a look at this instructive photomicrograph of a section through Lobaria pulmonaria. http://www.lichen.com/bigpix/section.html
