B IOLOGICAL C HARACTERISTICS Growth form: crustose (calicioid) Reproductive method: sexual spores Dispersal agents: undetermined. Two schools of thought exist: (1) stalked mazaedia raise spores above an air-flow boundary layer and are thus wind dispersed; (2) stalked mazaedia raise spores to brush against ...

SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian.
Three types of lichens have been described: (1) crustose forms, which are flattened against the limb (Figure 1); (2) folicose forms, which produce leaflike folds above the limb (Figure 2); and (3) fruiticose lichens, which produce highly branched structures with hair or fingerlike projections (Figure 3).
Lichen growth forms: CRUSTOSE lichens form crusts that are so tightly attached to the rocks, trees, sidewalks, or soils they grow on that they can'tbe removed without damaging the substrate.
Instead of producing seeds, bryophytes can either reproduce sexually by means of spores, or asexually when small pieces break off and grow into new individuals. crustose lichens . map lichen .

A lichen thallus has one of three general growth forms: foliose, fruticose, or crustose. Foliose lichens are leaf-like with different upper and lower surfaces.
1 Crustose lichens associated with dead wood in northwestern North America: a review Review Draft, 25 March 2005 Toby Spribille 1, Curtis Björk 2 and Trevor Goward 2 Abstract.
Originally there were to have been two parts, with the second containing the fruticose and crustose lichens. Fortunately it was decided to publish the fruticose volume now, without waiting the several years required for the crustose forms to be more completely studied.
