Barbara and Peter Rzasa will lead this session at the Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby, Connecticut. Lichens are curious plants that are part fungus and part alga or cyanobacteria existing in a symbiotic relationship.
They have been used to produce natural dyes, as food sources, as potential antibiotics, and most recently as bio-indicators of air quality.
