foliose lichen

Nephroma is a genus of medium to large foliose lichens.

Like other foliose lichens, the thallus is only loosely attached to the surface on which it grows.

Flavoparmelia rutidota is a green foliose lichen found on wood and rocks.

Under magnification, a section through a typical foliose lichen thallus reveals four layers of interlaced fungal filaments.

Foliose lichens have leaf-like thalli, while the fruticose lichens are like small bushes.

Some individuals closely match foliose lichens that grow in rocks in the area, others match more closely the gravels or pebbles on which they occur.

Umbilicaria mammulata, or Smooth Rock Tripe, is a foliose lichen found on boulders and rock walls.

Umbilicaria americana, commonly known as Frosted Rock Tripe, is a foliose lichen of rock faces.

It is a foliose lichen and its leaf-like thallus is green, leathery and lobed with a pattern of ridges and depressions on the upper surface.

The larvae feed on foliose lichens, probably Parmelia species that grow on tree trunks, as is the case with C. aliciae in Malawi.

Anzia, a foliose lichen genus belonging to Parmeliaceae family, which had not been recorded in Sri Lanka previously, was discovered here in 2007.

Erioderma pedicellatum is a medium-sized, foliose lichen in the family Pannariaceae, commonly called boreal felt lichen because of its fuzzy appearance.

They resemble many other genera of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae, particularly Parmotrema, Cetrelia, and Asahinea.

Among foliose lichens more prominent are several species of the Parmotrema, Pyxine and the very common Physcia atrostriata genera.

The melanic morphs were better camouflaged against the bark of trees without foliose lichen, whereas the 'typica' morphs were better camouflaged against trees with lichens.

Other rarities include the second only record in London of the foliose lichen Peltigera didactyla, which was only discovered during the survey, funded by WWF and UK2000.

The human genetic components had mutated slightly, and the alga had teamed up with a terrestrial fungus-perhaps from spores carried by some of the birds on the ark-to create this foliose lichen."

Flavoparmelia caperata or common greenshield lichen (from Lichens of North America) is a medium to large foliose lichen that has a very distinctive pale yellow green upper cortex when dry.

This is a versatile and widespread subformation common on all kinds of surfaces, in which crustose and foliose lichens combine with moss cushions to form mats (in the most favourable conditions, carpets) several centimetres deep.

They are highly adapted, and can be divided into three main types; crustose lichens, forming thin crusts on the surface, foliose lichens, forming leaf-like lobes, and fructicose lichens, which grow like shrubs.

Lobaria oregana, also known as lettuce lichen and as Oregon lungwort, is a species of foliose lichen occurring in North American old-growth forests, such as the Hoh Rainforest in Washington State.

However, typica are not as well camouflaged against foliose lichens common on tree trunks; though they are camouflaged in human wavelengths, in ultraviolet wavelengths, foliose lichens do not reflect ultraviolet light.

Flavoparmelia baltimorensis or Rock greenshield lichen (from Lichens of North America) is a medium to large foliose lichen with a yellow green upper surface when dry; lobes rounded without pseudocyphellae; the upper surface with globose, pustule-like growths resembling isidia.
