Fungi and Lichen – these are not plants since they do not have chlorophyll and other characteristics of true plants. However, a folder of photos has been included here. The presence of lichen indicates clear air with little pollution and demonstrates interesting symbiosis of algae and fungi. All photos taken by Ginger Franklin of the Edinburgh Academy.
