Product Description
Get this tabbed booklet to the 58 most common lichens of the eastern United States—and learn to identify them with confidence.
Lichens are all around us: clinging to city trees, carpeting forest floors, and painting rocks with brilliant hues. Yet most people walk right past these fascinating organisms without realizing what they’re seeing. Whether you’re a backyard naturalist, a seasoned hiker, or someone who’s curious about the natural world, this easy-to-use guide helps you recognize and appreciate lichens in your everyday environment.
Each lichen is organized by the surface it grows on—trees, soil, or rocks—and then by growth form: leafy, bushy, or crusty. Narrow your choices by what you see and where you see it, and view just a few lichens at a time. The professional photographs showcase 58 species (which account for 70% of all lichen sightings in the eastern United States) while straightforward descriptions make field identification approachable and fun for beginners and experts alike. Written by naturalist Tanner Barnharst, this pocket-size guide features species found from the states that border the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean.
