Lichenology

Lichenology is the branch of mycology that studies the lichens, symbiotic organisms made up of an intimate symbiotic association of a microscopic alga (or a cyanbacterium) with a filamentous fungus. Study of lichens draws knowledge from several disciplines: mycology, phycology, microbiology and botany and scholars of lichenology are known as lichenologists. * Lichenographiae Suecia prodromus (1798) * Methodus lichenum (1803) * Lichenographia universalis (1810) * Synopsis methodica lichenum (1814)
