Resolving the phylogeny of Diorygma aeolum, along with its photobiont Trentepohlia species from the Western Ghats, India

Studies in Fungi
This study unravels the symbionts of the lichenized fungus Diorygma aeolum with its Trentepohlia photobiont from the Western Ghats (India). Phylogenetic positioning of the mycobiont and photobiont was assessed by integrating morphology, thallus chemistry,

A lichen protected by a super-hydrophobic and breathable structure [PDF]

, 2006
A species of lichen, Lecanora conizaeoides, is shown to be super-hydrophobic. It uses a combination of hydrophobic compounds and multi-layered roughness to shed water effectively.
