Description
Did you know that a lichen is actually two creatures living together in symbiosis? The algae produces sugars from sunlight that nourish the fungus, which in turn shelters the algae from heat and drying out. Lichen fungi may have been Earth's earliest farmers, figuring out how to cultivate their crops. If you were very very small, you could play inside a lichen. Single-celled algae - would come greet you. You could hang from threads of the fungus like an acrobat. Inspired by a cross-section view of a lichen. ATTENTION: Painting is best reproduced on SMOOTH PAPER, NOT CANVAS OR TEXTURED PAPER.
