Why is Lichen important?

[@Magpie67]

Reminds me of growing up in Northern Michigan with the Woods and Forests as our backyard. Even as kids, we knew the lichen was special. Our mom was great and taught us what she knew about fungus and other plants. We picked and ate morel mushrooms and fiddlehead ferns and also knew what not to touch. The lichen grew like nothing else, though, on dead wood underfoot, overhead, by streams, where it was hot and sunny. Color and texture varied only slightly-mostly grey blues or rusts to match and blend. Your video was gorgeous and loved seeing all the colors and shapes. What a beautiful world where the littlest thing can often do a big job if we take the time to stop and recognize it. Excited to have found your channel and will share.

Lichens remind me of learning about coral reefs and hard stony polyp corals etc. pretty cool 😎

[@itsmehanis]

Such a high-quality video! You deserve more views. Keep up the great work!

[@maisalkhan5161]

Great

[@upscaspirants6435]

True

[@tomfoolery-4444]

I just did my semester research on lichens and air pollution! Aaaahhhh I'm part of a distinguished tradition I didn't know that ❤❤❤

[@anabelarose8030]

This is so richly informative thank you so much!

[@NexVoidGaming]

KZbin has decided im on a lichen kick and I'm down with it. The algorithm keeps recommending all sorts of lichen videos to me.

[@wavemaker54]

Lichen is much better than hating.

[@juliehowe3]

Or better yet hatin’

[@victoriao1828]

Incredible video. Thank you for sharing.

[@rasmussenrambles8576]

It's incredible how quickly lichens grow on rocks. A tombstone might not even be a year old before lichens begin growing on it

[@alberteinstein2388]

Just discovered your channel. I am Binge watching it 👍

[@EcoSapien]

Welcome aboard!

[@EcoSapien]

Let us know which is your favourite video

[@ruggedresearch]

Great video ! Always wondered about lichen !

[@wangxianist]

wow thank you so much this is so well made i need a longer version pls like at least a 30-min-long version with wider coverage that'd be amazing

[@EcoSapien]

Hopefully we can cover lichen more in the future!

[@bellezavudd]

I agree. Longer would be most enjoyable.

[@maryannhicks7829]

When I go to the mountains/forest nearby, I enjoy the lichens and the different mosses. The fresh air is a wonderful blessing to me.

[@user-sy7sk8jm8w]

Our nature is so beautiful

[@Leotique]

But how do these things spread across the world ?

[@Verklunkenzwiebel]

What's the effect of CO2 on lychen? Looking at rooftiles it seems there's more of it today than 40 years ago (NW Europe)

[@Stearsguttercleaning]

Great video

[@savezshaikh9820]

awesome informative video ....👌👌

[@rabbi1991]

Its now 3 organisms. 2 fungus and algae.

[@natureeducationbyrukmal]

Thank you

[@rowshambow]

Anybody know how long they can stay dormant or dried out for? Is there a limit of how long they can stay dormant?

[@nancynichols8659]

i went to look at evergreen college while it was being constructed, when i was 18 and looking for a 4 year college.ecology was very new and i was interested.my parents however wanted me to go to our own junior college. i studied horticultre there.this is good video.would like to see one that goes into more detail about the chemical breakdown of rock.thank you!

[@bellezavudd]

I had a few freinds who attended E.S.C. as I lived in Olympia for awhile in the 90s. Beautiful place. I was made most curious by the lichen breaking down rock also. ☺

[@godfroi10991]

You went to college but can't come close to constructing a coherent sentence? Were you high when you wrote this? It's an abomination! Sounds suspicious to me....

[@snehagupta3970]

Very nice thanks for it

[@Joe-sz8xn]

Very interesting 😊

[@Sergio-i6s6g]

You are the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nickyburkeproductions7606]

Great video!!!!!!

[@ukrajpoot5129]

Good information thank u

[@GauravGupta-pb8mk]

Thank you sir

[@ZebraAlison]

I would like to know, if anybody knows, can lichens be kept as ‘air plants’ houseplants? Is it possible to mimic conditions, has anyone ever done this? Thanks

[@bellezavudd]

I keep mine on my trees right out the front door. 😄 Woulsnt mind learning how to transfer them inside. Any luck?

[@ramisasubah7567]

thanks

[@jameshansel2755]

Go Furnace Town!!

[@freementality2271]

Nice

[@thekarmafarmer608]

Shout out to my lichen peeps

[@lobstrosity7163]

Don't forget the yeast fungi!

[@hannajarvenpaa5079]

"Local Green space". I guess I'm too old...we called it our backyard, or the woods... maybe I can morph into a Lichen and exit humanity, which I suspect many do at times.

[@AbellaTeacher]

If you have a backyard or a nearby woods, then that's great! If you live in an apartment (like I do), then "green space" is a better description (usually a local park, for me).

[@DruNature]

Lichen subscribe, comment and share the video! XD

[@davesitarski2310]

This video is old, and incorrect. Lichen is made of three organisms.

[@alstewart9212]

Sad that Evergreen college is in this video. Evergreen is noted for its racism.

[@benedwards1047]

what a dumb comment!

Talking head is boring
