Lichens are some of the most widely distributed and interesting entities in the natural world! Did you know that lichens are a great example of symbiosis? This is because a fungus and an alga live together in close proximity, both benefiting, and forming different lichen species? North America is home to over 3,600 species of lichens, while Ohio is home to nearly 500 different species of macro and micro lichens. Come enjoy and explore the wonderful world of lichens at Gorman Nature Center as we explore different habitats searching for these amazing organisms!
