    This is a small to medium-sized lichen, that grows on the bark of deciduous trees, but we grow ours on slate rock pieces.
    We sell this lichen attached or not attached to a slate rock in different dimensions in cm and weights please see photos to see amounts.
    We also sell its preferred substrate, Slate in many sizes, we suggest buying an amount of lichen attached or not attached to slate, and additional substrate for the lichen to grow over.

    Lichen is an amazing addition to any terrarium, adding a splash of color that only lichen can offer. This lichen is a pale blue with olive or reddish-brown disk-like, spore-producing structures.
    We do International post tracking with every order. Your order will be packed safely and I'll send your Internation tracking number so you can follow your order travels to you :)

    You will be receiving lichen which has been dehydrated for shipping, when she arrives just rehydrate her by spraying water on her, and within seconds she comes back to life.

    Living Smooth Axial-bristle Lichen: The vegetative body (thallus) is leaf-like (foliose) and divided into lobes. It is attached to the substrate by abundant, uniformly distributed, black, usually unbranched, anchoring structures (rhizines). The lobes are 1 ⁄32″ to 1 ⁄16″ (0.8 to 2 mm) in diameter, flat, and closely appressed to the substrate. The upperside is pale gray to bluish-gray and wrinkled or corrugated in the center. The surface has neither powdery dull granules (soredia) nor shiny granules (isidia). The underside is black. There are short, black, hair-like appendages in the axils of the lobes and sometimes also on the margins. These may not be visible without a hand lens. The interior of the thallus is divided into two layers. The lower layer (medulla) is yellowish, though this may be difficult to see except under the apothecia.

    Disk-like, spore-producing structures (apothecia) are usually abundant. The disks are 1 ⁄16″to 3 ⁄16″ in diameter, olive or reddish-brown, and shaped like a plate. Each disk has a ring of tissue around it that resembles the tissue of the vegetative (non-fruiting) part of the lichen.
