- Hey! Thanks for waiting a while for me to get a new video out - turns out it's hard to work on these videos while I'm in class. But lichens are one of my favorite "organisms," and it makes me so happy to teach others about them. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and maybe I'll make a video about it!

I'm fond of that pale green lichen with the bright red fruiting bodies. I always found it growing on logs near the dune pines, by the Ft. Tilden beach, in NY. Good show.
Thx for teaching me about lichens. Very informative.
Very informative and very well put together. Thank you
Awesome video, I'm really lichen your shirt
I have just been studying lichen and you told me more!!!
This is a great video! Very informative and your voice is very easy to listen to
Such a great video! You've been a great addition to our homeschool day!
thatdesiree I'm so happy to hear that!
@@microcosmia hello! Thanks for the video!
I have a question i can't find the answer to anywhere 😕
Do you know how long lichen can stay dormant for?
What is the longest one has been dried out then reawakened?
In my search online i found that moss under a glacier woke up after over a century but nothing about lichen :(
Im so obsessed with lichen, and moss, and such.
Using this as a source for my nature journal 🤟 thank U lichen lady
What a great video! Thank you!
Great video! Wish you would have went for 10-15 minutes and explained terms with examples. No one would get bored. You're fun to watch. Still great, thanks!!!
Thank you! This was so informative and chill to watch!
Please explain to me about JAKABA (Jamur Keberuntungan Abadi)? Is it arbuscula?
I have a beautiful lichen on my cedar picnic table that seems to produce beautiful red flowers every year
This was singlehandedly more educational than my college botany class. Just. Why?
I have a question
Please give me its answer ,the question is that in lichens both algae and fungus are present, but in asexual reproduction just fungus is involved but algae is not ? And also in sexual reproduction ??
In sexual reproduction, only the fungus reproduces, then in order to make a new lichen individual it must find the suitable photobiont. In asexual reproduction, the fungus and algae often stick together.
How can I grow lichen in my terrariums or in the logs of my bonsai trees?
I have a question If lichen eats rock would lichen like the water from rock saws ?
Hello. If I take a small piece of dried lichen can I bring it back to life?
Is is safe to have lichen inside? I started making terrariums and I have lichen, moss, wood and more all over the place!
from my experience, lichen cannot take the constant humidity enclosed in terrariums. they require cool airy conditions with high light. i would try hanging a lichen growing on a stick(easy to find, like the one shown in the beginning of this vid) from a string in a north east window. observe the condition and orientation to light before you collect the lichen for better understanding of it's requirements. lichens dry out completely and go dormant between waterings. i would spray the lichen with a rain water mister several times a week. keep in a cool/ cold /chilly room in winter. open the window in summer for ventilation. it is easier to grow your lichen outdoors year round just outside your viewing window and let nature take care of it.
cool video! thanks
i have a question, if i collected a lichen, and would like to place it on a rock i have, how could i coltivate it there?, should i wet it and crush it with water and place the paste on the rock?
Very informative. Cheers.
Thank you so much
Thank you
Thank you for the knowledge :)
very interesting!
Question: is a diaspore the same as a soredium? 🤔
Great video. I photograph lichen in northwestern Wyoming. I’ve become fascinated with the colors and amazing details. This a very arid ecosystem that is roughly a mile in elevation. These organisms are incredible. I’m just a useful idiot trying to gain any knowledge that I can cram into my monkey brain, so thanks for the information! I’ll check out your other content.
How easily can you start a window garden of lichen?
I'm almost 2 years late but I really liked this video!
How can I culture Lichen?
So much like corals!
Does lichen live in sea also?
do you have a video that gives the names of the various lichens?
I don't, but that's a great idea! I'll put it on my list to make a video about the main groups of lichens.
this is wonderful. Thank you.
Could we get you to use a microphone on camera so it doesn't sound like a muffled, echoing can?
I like moss and lichen. I blended a lot up with sour milk last year and painted that on concrete and wood. It smelled awful for quite a while but now there is some growing on the concrete and wood.
That's cool that you were able to cultivate them - usually that can be a challenge because of their specific needs.
I'd love to increase the quality of my videos, but unfortunately for now this is just a hobby that I do whenever I get the time so I don't have the means to invest in it.
It's funny, RUclips did not tell me you had replied until a few minutes ago...
Hj. How to determine if a lichen is healthy and degraded
Hey thank you for the vid, I learned alot! 💜🙏💚
Very informative - Thanks!
I'm really lichen this stuff!
hell yeah dude lichens cool asf!!!!
My vegan D3 supliment is drived from Lichen , if Lichen is a Fungus +Algae then how my vitamin D3 supliment can be a Vegan product ???
Great information, thanks!
ogoood love the artwork so frikken cute !!!!!!!!!!!!
Came across your videos by chance and I think they're great. But I really found your voice interesting to listen to. You should find out if you have talent as a narrator.
do you have a goodreads account? would love to follow you on there and check out some of the books you like to read (on nature, environment, etc) :)
I don't have a Goodreads account! Surprisingly, I don't actually read that many nature-related books - I absorb most of my knowledge through classes and online identification/appreciation groups. I do of course have to recommend Robin Wall Kimmerer if you haven't checked her books out yet.
Thanks for the helpful video. I learned something.
That was fun-guy !
So here is a crazy suggestion. I have been fascinated with lichen and went to hear a lichnologist in my area. I think you should talk to Alie Ward of ologies and go on her show Ologies... feel free to gently stalk here and contact her often. Just a silly idea.
Thanks for the suggestion! That show sounds great.
Can I still get a lichen pillow?
Yep! www.redbubble.com/i/throw-pillow/Moss-with-Lichens-by-microcosmicshop/27826851.5X2YF
Lichens are good for tree
Nice Video :)
help me propagating!

Cute shirt
I am thoroughly impressed with this video. Interesting information, clear and concise script, and superb graphics. The T-shirt artwork is awesome as well. Please let me know if you would be interested in collaborating sometime, just reply here or send me an email :)
Thank you! I'd love to do a collab! I'm in NC too, for the time being.
Sweet! Please feel free to shoot me an email and we can get something lined up: benbzino@gmail.com

Okay, I will start all of my videos that way. Thanks for your feedback!
