This course is for people who are interested in learning about lichens in general and how they are identified. It will cover the basic principals of lichen biology and ecology and will include a brief introduction to a variety of different aspects of lichens. The aim of the course is help students identify common lichens and continue to study them on their own with the help of some guides and books. We will work in the field and in the laboratory where we can study the species we find in more detail. There will be guidance on the use of microscopes for identification and associated techniques.
