Lichens
A symbiosis between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium.
On this rock are two of the main growth forms of lichens:
-
foliose – flat, leaf-like lobes that are not firmly bonded to the substrate;
-
crustose – crust-like, closely bound to the substrate.
Moss
Moss are small flowerless plants.
Moss forms dense green clumps.
Often found on rocks and boulders where they can survive desiccation, regreening after rain.
