Foliose lichen is one of the morphological classes of lichens, which are complex organisms that arise from the symbiotic relationship between fungi and a photosynthetic partner, typically algae. This partnership allows lichen to live in diverse climates that can range from cold, dry mountains to wet, warm valleys. Lichens develop quite slowly with recorded growth rates of 0.01–27mm/year depending on the species. Their lifespan averages between 30 and 60 years.

  • Foliose lichen is one of the morphological classes of lichens, which are complex organisms that arise from the symbiotic relationship between fungi and a photosynthetic partner, typically algae. This partnership allows lichen to live in diverse climates that can range from cold, dry mountains to wet, warm valleys. Lichens develop quite slowly with recorded growth rates of 0.01–27mm/year depending on the species. Their lifespan averages between 30 and 60 years. Lichens have a main body part called the thallus, which is composed of hyphae, and houses the cortex and medulla. The cortex contains the photosynthetic cells while the medulla allows for gas exchange and makes up the bulk of the lichen's thallus. There are three main types of lichens: crustose, foliose, and fruticose. Foliose lichen are characterised by flattened leafy thalli, and an upper and lower cortex. Many have numerous layers, which are stratified, and aid in identifying different types. Foliose lichens attach to surfaces by hyphae in the lower cortex with smaller root like structures called rhizines. Lichens play an important role environmentally. They provide a food source for many animals such as deer, goats, and caribou, and are used as building material for bird nests. Some species can even be used in antibiotics. They are also a useful indicator of atmospheric pollution level. (en)

  • Bladlav (Foliose lichen) är en typ av lav som är bladlik och fäster med rotliknande utväxter från underbarken. Bladlavar är komplexa organismer som uppstår genom det symbiotiska förhållandet mellan svampar och en fotosyntetisk partner, vanligtvis alger. Detta partnerskap tillåter lavar att leva i klimat som kan variera från kalla, torra berg till våta varma dalar. Bladlavar utvecklas långsamt med tillväxthastigheter på 0,01–27 mm / år beroende på art. Deras livslängd är i genomsnitt 30 till 60 år. (sv)
