Photo Friday: Lichen

By TurboThy (Thu Jul 20, 2006 at 06:27:12 PM EST) photos, photo of the day (all tags)

You eat a lichen corpse. It tastes terrible.

Went to Öland a month ago to find some tupperware. Saw this growing on the limestone rauks on the Northern part of the island.

_{(Okay, it's not all limestone. There's a bit of quartz in the top right corner.)}

Moss is a plant. Lichen is apparently a parasitic symbiosis between algae and fungi.

That implication that lichen might be a throwback to the earliest forms of multi-cellular life.

Got to respect a lifeform that can survive by eating rocks.
