Lichenology Series presented by Northwest Natura
A three-part series teaching you about lichen biology, including how they probably evolved and what their role is in the environment. We’ll learn how to categorize unique forms and view microscopic structures to better understand the symbiotic relationship of algae, fungi, yeast, and bacteria that live as one to make a lichen.
This course is taught by naturalist and outdoor educator, Jazmen Yoder, who has taken her Bachelor's in evolution, ecology, and organismal biology and condensed it as public education. Her love for plants, mushrooms, ethnobotany, lichen, algae, and natural history make her courses highly engaging, fun, and incredibly informative.
Fun introductory lessons on lichens, including Symbiosis, Mycology, Evolution, Lichen biology terminology/vocab, Identification, Chemical reactions, Microscopic features & Wildlife uses & human uses (medicinal qualities). Please register via the event website.
