\"\"<\/a>“Lichen are Fungi that took up farming with Algae.”<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Dr Frank Bungartz, ASU<\/strong><\/p>\n

I took a class about Lichen put on by Olli at ASU\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0at the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I learned a lot of additional factoids about Lichen which I won’t bore you with. But the main things I learned were humbling. First this tiny subject is so complex that a person can study it there entire lives and not understand everything that is known. And second, what we know about lichen is fragmentary, massively incomplete and often disputed.<\/p>\n

For a young person who loves science Lichen could be an interesting life’s work. It reminded me of E. O. Wilson and his studies of ants.<\/p>\n

I took the first photo using the magnifier app on my iPhone 11pro. The second photo was taken years ago with my iPhone 7.<\/p>\n
