Twins - Ramalina Fastigiate (Print)
After strong winds the lanes of my village are strewn with twigs covered in lichen. I only have to walk into the lane by my house to find these spectacular organisms. This specimen was found by my twin sons on a walk near Ichen Abbas, Hampshire.

More Information

Lichens comprise of two organisms, fungus and algae, which have formed a symbiotic relationship. Fungi don’t produce chlorophyll so can’t harvest their own energy from the sun as plants do. Algae do photosynthesise and have formed a partnership with fungi.
In return for a supply of vital nutrients to the fungi, the algae gain protection from ultra-violet light by the structure of the fungi. It is the fungi which is the dominant partner in the relationship, in a way ’farming’ the algae to produce the food it needs. -
