Bristly Beard Lichen (Friday Fellow by Earthling Nature) https://earthlingnature.wordpress.com/2022/11/11/friday-fellow-bristly-beard-lichen/ #lichens #fungi
The #BristlyBeardLichen is very sensitive to #AirPollution, especially to #SulfurDioxide and nitrogen compounds. It has also shown the ability to bioaccumulate #HeavyMetals in its tissues. As a result, more recent studies are trying to turn it into a model species for #BioMonitoring of air #pollution.
