Datos interesantes

Lichens are two organisms in one: a fungus and an alga living together!

Reindeer and caribou rely on lichens, especially 'reindeer moss,' for crucial winter food.

Scientists use lichens as air quality monitors; they absorb pollutants, revealing air health.

Some lichens grow less than a millimeter yearly, making them incredibly slow and ancient!
