Lichen — Images by kenne
Lichen is a fungus that grows symbiotically with algae, resulting in a composite organism that characteristically forms a crust like or branching growth on rocks or tree trunks. It will be brown in color when it dries out, but with recent rain, gray, green and yellow color returns. When working with elementary school children in Sabino Canyon, the naturalists often use the following phase:
“Alice Algae took a lichen to Freddie Fungus,
but now their relationship is on the rocks”.

The pleasing fungus beetle is very common on Mt. Lemmon, however the current very dry conditions in the mountain riparian areas are not ideal for these fungus loving insects.
