This was fantastically interesting ! With this video I was able to find all 3 types of lichen on a tree ! Thanks to the fantastic people who made this video .

Thank you, Noemi! I'm so happy to hear you were able to use this video to guide you through your own observations! :) Feel free to suggest topics you would like to see on this channel in the future! :)

It would be interesting to see a longer documentary about lichens.

[@natureclearly]

What would you like to know about them?

[@ОлексійБурковський-о3й]

@@natureclearly I'd like to watch a video about biodiversity of lichens and their interaction with other organisms, for example, springtails or insects.

[@Quratulainnasim-o9m]

kindly explain the concept of prokaryotes

Very helpful! I have been looking for a video like this for a while thank you!

[@natureclearly]

I am very happy the video helped! :)

I used to think that crustose lichens was moss. I wasn't aware of both foliose and fruticose. Thank you for great video. And is pale white ones really alive?

[@mparaclete]

keep up the good work...!

Amazing, just what i was looking for to get a clear understanding, hands on video.

[@Sea-Weathered-Seijin]

i am curious if it is currently known what the function of cilia on lichen is. do they always appear in that arrangement sticking out at the edges of the lobe? are they only ever present on foliose lichen?

[@thechosenone5644]

I heard back in high school that you can use the presence/amount of crustose/foliose/fruticose lichen as a test for air quality, since foliose and fruticose lichens have a higher proportion of their surface area exposed. not sure how true/relevant it is, though

What camera did you use to take the photos in the video?

[@natureclearly]

Hi! Most of the photos in this video were taken with a phone! :)

[@Amrafel]

Including the picture at minute 4:28 in the video? Thanks in advance, this is a really helpful video with good pictures and clear explanation! @@natureclearly

Oh, that one is a stock image, so unfortunately not taken by me! I'm very happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching! :)@@Amrafel
