More food, and more lichens who came to buy the food, and you need lichens to help make the food and keep track of the sales, and now, you need moss shelters for lichens to live in and lichens to cultivate the moss shelters, and now, there's more lichens, and they invent things which makes things better, and more lichens come, and there's more farming and more lichens to make more things for more lichens, and now, there's business, money, writing, laws, power.

Reminded me of first semester biology lab and the Biological Progression field trip. First, there's bare rock. Second, there are lichens. The lichens break down a tiny bit of the rock and leave organic material in the mix, creating a basic soil. Third, moss spores that have landed in the soil come to life, and patches of moss grow wider and make the soil layer slightly deeper. Fourth and so on, with higher plants, like shrubs, small trees, larger trees. Eventually, climax communities. We'd hiked a bit to get to that spot, the place where we could, without turning our heads, see everything in the progression from solid rock to lichen, to mosses, to shrubs, to alders, to Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. When I'd processed it, I must admit I was blown away by the scope and power of life on this planet and how bare minerals can eventually become covered with plants and animals. I have looked at lichen with reverence ever since. Lichens start the process of biological progression, and if it weren't for them, my region would be bare rock and not much else. I grew up amid moss-covered trees and dark, ancient forests. Lichens didn't get enough credit out there, even though the ancient rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula were all started after the ice age ended when lichens took hold of the bare rocks, and even though some folks used certain of the myriad local lichens medicinally, as well. After the eruption of Mt St Helens, I was able to reassure a few people I knew that forests would grow on again on what was left of that mountain. "Life will find a way."

Having recently read Entangled Life It is a bit of a simplification to call lichens a single linage they are more of a wide assortment of fungi, bacteria and algae teaming up. Thus there is no true "clade" of lichens they form based on conditions in the wild if and when they find a suitable partner or two and the right sort of conditions that living together is more advantageous than living apart. The partners are thus rarely the same and they contain a wide assortment of microbes from different domains of life so how can researchers phylogenetically trace back the origin of lichens? In a system where any partner is interchangeable how do you phylogenetically date an association? Ancient Fungi digest rocks cyanobacteria and algae photosynthesize and other partners can provide any assortment of traits such as heat tolerance, toxicity, or additional types of nutrients and or structural compounds etc. As long as there are fungi and appropriate prokaryotes or even algae in a sufficiently sunny environment associations that resemble what we call lichens will naturally arise. They aren't organisms but really a type of ecosystem just like how no two forests or grasslands savannahs etc. are the same in both time and space. Logically in principal the first ancestors of plants may very well have been lichen like in a far wetter freshwater environment There are descriptions of fungal associations forming with stranded seaweed under specific conditions so . The analogy of lichens being fungi that cultivate cyanobacteria is thus just plain wrong. The major point that book hammers out with metagenomic research is there no common ancestry in lichens, species that form lichens also live independent of these associations which are really ecosystems not organisms so I'm extremely skeptical of attempting to date these unimaginably diverse associations as one would date a plant or animal. After all you only need a organism that fills a specific niche so one species can easily outcompete another in lichen formation or go extinct and get replaced Just like the giant Most likely the main lichen building fungi species filled in or replaces an existing linage of fungi. After all attempting to date the bacterial partners which account for most of the diversity is practically impossible with all the horizontal gene transfer going on. In fact the very notion of phylogenetically dating lichens is likely absurd on these grounds, as barring fossilized lichens we will likely never be able to determine when lichens first arose. In fact there is no guarantee that fungi were even the first partners since one fascinating find discussed is "fungi like" networks within 2.1 Ga old fungi Alright found the paper that claims to have shown Lichens are younger than plants they indeed only phylogenetically dated modern lichen forming fungi. Given how many time sin evolution one clade as supplanted another the claim that lichens are younger than plants falls flat. They do show that the major modern lichen forming fungi last common ancestor is younger than plants. However it is a very bold and unsubstantiated claim to say *all lichens* are younger than plants especially when what evidence we do have about the evolution of plants shows us that fungi forming symbiotic associations with photosynthetic organisms was what enabled green algae to colonize the land and become plants. It is a chicken and the amniotic egg scenario except you are replacing the chicken with any animal and thus rendering the argument to lunacy as we know amniotes evolved from reptiliomorph amphibians. All it tells you is there must have been a different clade of fungi filling that fungal niche in lichens.

It brings up the relationships humans have with our normal flora, the bacteria we depend on for protecting our skin from pathological bacteria, for gut bacteria that help digest our food, create a blood clotting factor, and protect us from pathological bacteria, etc. We couldn't survive in this world without our normal flora. Of course, we acquire those organisms after we're born, so how we develop a symbiotic relationship with them is no mystery at all.

This is the first time I've heard about lichen having more than one fungus, but I understand it's often possible for the fungi in lichens to survive with different photosynthetic partners or even none at all. Changing the symbiont can change the appearance and ecology of the lichen so much that some lichens which were considered different are now regarded as being the same species. From what I gather the symbionts get their own species classifications as well. Try searching for "photobiont switch."

I am so happy you are covering lichens!!! You should definitely try to cover Microsporidia in a future video, and try to get video of a cell being parasitized. A note on the referenced study: While the 2019 study did show that lichenized fungi and their algal symbionts reached land after vascular plants, it is important to remember that the term "lichen" refers to many diverse lineages of fungi that have convergently evolved the lichenized phenotype at various times in prehistory. It's still possible and quite likely that forms of now extinct lichenized fungi colonized land well before the terrestrialization of plants. Besides Prototaxites, fungi just aren't very good at fossilization unfortunately :(

So yeah, this video was preceded by an ad for a hat that blocks cellphone radiation. Yep, Google's got me pegged. "Hey, you seem to be watching a lot of science, news, and bushcraft videos. Wanna wear a tin-foil hat without people knowing you're wearing a tin-foil hat?"

I read a little bit about Lichens conquering prehistoric land in Lynn Margulis´ book Symbiotic Planet when se mentioned the Hypersea Theory of McMenamin, it sounds poetic :)

I'm trying to collect a few differently colored lichen for a school science fair that'll start next week. I probably should've waited till morning to look for them due to the amount of weirdos in my town. I also need to get 400 dollars before next sunday... An orphanage isn't supposed to charge the children money, right?

What's up with the 31 μm scale bars? Some kind of internal joke? As if a 42 μm bar would be too big, so they decided to subtract 1 from each digit...

trevor goward's quote ("lichens are fungi discovered agriculture") was first published in 1992, though he came to that realization in 1990. in 2008, he started publishing his "twelve readings of the lichen thallus" series where he details how he came to that realization and also how he no longers believes in it. the series details goward's current view (the view that led to toby spribille's team discovering the yeast partner) that a lichen is both an organism and a system. source: www.waysofenlichenment.net/ways/readings/index

Love moss! And i totally didnt know that about lichens! Last week i thought of a great show idea! I would love to see the microbes in the human gut! No poo is required, you could just culture the ones in the probiotics you can buy. Would love to see what im growing inside me!

I can't believe there are people on this Earth at this very moment who don't know the difference between moss and lichen

Probably the average african. Rural SE Asians. Indians. Basically everywhere where lichen doesn't grow there are bound to be people who never even heard of it.

Hey, I have a question about Lichens & Mosses... I climb trees a lot & I notice a lot of trees are covered in both of these. I don't know much about them but I've heard that the healthier the air & environment the more you will get of these on walls & trees etc. What I want to know is, do they cause damage to the trees? I've noticed that they grow more on the dead branches that are still in the trees. My question is: Are they parasites or symbiotic? Or some other word? Do they take their moisture & nutrients purely from detritus on the bark & rain & dew or are they sucking moisture out of the branch and therefore taking away water needed for leaves? Which is why the smaller branches seem to die a lot? What I'm not sure of is, are they causing the branches to die or just growing more once its dead due to more available nutrients? Thanks for any info...

I can’t explain it but I didn’t feel as satisfied after this video than I typically do. Like it was just filler or something.

@ 1:14 I happen to find mosses and lichens to be fascinating. Sadly I don't know much about either, but I do know that lichens are a symbiosis between an algae and a fungus. I'll keep watching to find out more.
