Yes. The three main types of lichen are crustose, foliose and fruticose.
- Crustose lichens are so-called because they form a type of crust on the surface of rocks, wood or other material on which they grow. They embed into the surface.
- Foliose lichens do not embed into the material on which they grow, though they are attached at the base.
- Fruticose lichens tend to hang loosely, and are moss-like or bushy in appearance.
