Hunter Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 For such a common life form, lichens sure are difficult to learn about :-0 What's that about? Anyone know of any good resources for studying lichens? I looked them up when I read that they were found in the stomach of a defrosted mammoth. I'm confused :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thank you everyone! Those links were a huge help. It just amazes me that I never even learned the name of the life form that covers 8% of the Earth's surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
