Lichen (Usnea subfloridana) growing on a branch of a fir tree. This lichen is a good indicator of air quality, as it is intolerant of high sulphur dioxide concentrations. A lichen is a symbiotic organism comprising a fungus and an alga. The alga produces nutrients for the fungus by photosynthesis. Photographed in western Scotland.
