Lignicolous lichen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lignicolous community with Athallia pyracea (orange).

A lignocolous lichen is a lichen that grows on wood that has the bark stripped from it.[1] This contrasts with a corticolous lichen that grows on the bark,[2] and saxicolous lichens that grow on rock.[3]
