- Welcome to the wonderful world of lichens! Lichenologists from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh take you on an adventure around the city, revealing the stories & superpowers of lichens in urban environments. Why not be a lichen detective yourself? Next time you step outside, take a closer look and see what lichens you can find - take a photo, and let us know with #myurbanlichen - don’t forget to say where you found the lichen!

Wow everyone's presenting was top notch
Well done! I greatly appreciate your demonstration on what lichens are. Much obliged!
Enjoyed the lichen treasure hunt! Here’s yet another way to enjoy hiking Edinburgh.🙂
'Sticky-outy bits' - love it! And what an enthusiastic bunch of lichenologists ☺
Absolutely charming!
Lichen are quite fascinating. I live in North Africa I have lichens growing on stones, walls trunks of live n dead trees, now though they thrive in the rainy season it's amazing how they can tolerate the very hot long summers n yet you find them growing happily again in the winter months. I read lichens are very slow growing, so do they become dormant in the summer or completely die?
Dear Frances, I cant believe I never saw this video before! I love it, great work everyone!!
Lichen are fascinating.
That was so fun! Recent lichen enjoyer and there are so many cool lichens out there in the world! I am in Yukon Canada near Coastal Alaska and the amount of neat lichens is impressive. I have never seen those orange lichens on the coast before! So cool.
Absolutely delightful and perfectly presented❤
Everyone should give a lichen subscribe! I'll be here all week!
Gratuluje pięknie nagrany i pouczający film
Thanks for telling us this important thing
Needless to say that lichen has an essential role for our ecosystem, I even haven't noticed they also present in urban area so far.
I sometimes use iNaturalist to document lichens. (iNat is a project of California Academy of Sciences and National Geographic.) Handheld magnifier / loupe can get you closer view / photo.
Amazing
This is my entering in this unbelievable world. I wish the camera would have staid still to give me time to have a better look at that busy image. Traveling in the city on big elements is fine but traveling into that so so small items is not the best.
Once bitten there's no turning back.
I have a little bunch of Usnea that was blown out of a maple tree in my yard. I'd like to keep it like an air plant indoors. Would that work for it? Should I treat it like a tillisandia and give it an occasional soak or misting? Would a small amount of orchid fertilizer be good for it?
Turns out there are three symbiotes involved, two are fungi. National Geo has a short yt vid on it
We're likin' your lichen!
Yesterday I didn't know what they were, now I love them
You would not say the same thing about my wife though.
Ooooh, please, coloquem tradução do video em Português .
I dont want to point fingers but I think my pet snail loves _some_ lichens. Sticks seem polished after a few days. So I guess I can't have a snail AND lichens. At least not in the same cage.
Is it same with JAKABA (Jamur Keberuntungan Abadi)?

I wonder how many other cool things this creatures do.
I want to join them
Excelente para o chá para infecção urinária e limpar o muco dos pulmões
I had no idea lichen invented umbrellas and wooden spoons.
Can’t they also include bacteria?
May or may not include Cyanobacteria.
where do i get a woman like Kristine gd
I like lichens, but this level of lichen geekery is a sure way to remain single.
I don't wanna see lichen everywhere. Feel anxiety tho.
If anybody from iso sees this I’m naeema
