This resource includes two separate activities on lichens that can be used in your units on Fungi or Community Ecology. The first activity is an informational text and critical reading activity, and the second activity is a lab involving lichens. The reading includes facts about the mutualistic nature of lichens, the structure of lichens, and the important role that lichens play in the environment. Choose to use the traditional printable version, or the paperless, digital Google Apps version. Both Google Slides and Google Forms Versions are included. What is included in this resource? Editable and printable informational text reading on lichens Paperless Digital Versions of the text reading activity for use in Google Drive, Google Classroom, and /or Microsoft OneDrive Google Forms Version of Text Reading (Editable) Google Slides Version of Text Reading (Not editable) Editable and printable lab activity on lichens Teacher Guide and Answer Key Teacher Guide for Google Apps Both activities are suitable for life science or biology students in grades 7 – 12. I use both activities when I am teaching my unit on Community Ecology. The first activity is an informational text reading on lichens. The four student pages include the reading and a set of critical reading and analysis questions. The reading includes facts about the mutualistic nature of lichens, structure of lichens, and the important role that lichens play in the environment. Pictures are included to enhance the text. Following the reading, students will answer 11 questions to check for reading comprehension and critical analysis of the text. This makes an excellent homework assignment prior to the lab activity. This reading activity can be completed using the printable handouts or the digital handouts available in Google Drive. The second activity is a short lab exercise on lichens. In this lab, students will observe both living specimens of lichens as well as prepared slides. Materials you will need for this lab include: Microscope, hand lens, living specimens of lichens, and prepared slides of lichens. The TEACHER GUIDE includes everything you need for the successful completion of both activities, including answer keys, lab prep, and suggestions for lab implementation. Answer keys are included for each activity.

Any season is perfect to do a lichen nature study. Just go on a lichen scavenger hunt in a wooded area and you are most likeing going to find some!
I found this lichen, (I think it’s called trumpet lichen?) and another spiky sort, in a forest in CT last week. Don’t know what I did wrong lichen care wise but the last one I had dropp…
Lichens on a dead twig in my yard in Austin. We have had a lot of rain and the lichen fruiting bodies have sprouted.
Because fungus is challenging to find and photograph, fungi photos are less common than flower pics, but they're just as beautiful.
Many outdoor photographers will often see a great opportunity for an interesting foreground when they come across a patch of moss (as you can see from the images below). But moss or lichen can also be great subjects themselves. These 50 photos of moss and lichen show what can be done with a little imagination when you're in the great outdoors.

Lichen vs. Moss. What's the difference between the two? This simple description will help you and your children as you identify them during nature study.
This is a 12" x 18" poster of a series of watercolor lichens and mosses. With thousands of species of both moss and lichen in the world, I have limited my illustrations here to 12 common genera of each. I have drawn a particular species for each of these 12 for illustration purposes, but the genus of each illustration can usually be found on more than one continent and even in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This poster has been professionally printed onto lovely matte 100 lb card stock and is initialed and dated on the reverse. ★ Frame not included ★ The generous top and bottom margins are perfect for framing using a wooden poster hanger (which also makes it very easy to change out posters every now and then). This listing does NOT include the wooden, magnetic poster hanger used in the photo. Your poster will be carefully packaged in a kraft tube for mailing. ★ Frame not included ★ I do my best to portray colors accurately, however different monitors (and cameras) will vary in how they display colors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER AND GET 10% OFF: https://twigandmoth.myflodesk.com/newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***Purchase does not transfer copyright.

How to Make a Lichen Covered Branch
Shaggy Ink-Cap (Coprinus Comatus) fungi mushroom. As the cap matures it deliquesces into an inky black fluid. This specimen was found by the side of a path in deciduous woodland. Photo taken at Potteric Carr nature reserve, Doncaster, South Yorkshire in mid October. Camera: Nikon D300 Lens: Nikon Af-S Ii 400mm F2.8 If-Ed with 2x teleconverter. Support: Manfrotto monopod 680B Maybe not the ideal setup for this kind of photography but I was after bird photos on the day! I use my photos as inspiration and reference for my paintings which can be seen at: www.stevegreaves.com
