Lichen Links & ResourcesLinksHere are some helpful links about lichens. Some have great pictures and stories about lichen use, and others give more detailed explanations about lichen biology and structure. Browse through these sites and enter the world of lichens and the people who research them.
Books & GuidesThere are plenty of books and guides available about lichens. Many of them have spectacular photographs, while others are all business to help you identify lichens. Keep in mind that lichenology is a specific field of study and many of the keys and books are no longer published simply because the demand for them is not great. Some of these publications can be found in online formats, while others may be found by looking in a used bookstore. Check out these books, and then search for more! Brodo, I. M., S. D.
