Look at the New York Times for yesterday, Oct. 10, 2012. There is actually a restaurant in the city that is serving a lichen as a course in an overly precious, overly chi-chi, and waaaaay overpriced $245 tasting menu "dinner". I put dinner in quotes because WHO EATS LICHENS? Are they kidding???????
Lichen are not capable of photosynthesis like plants, so they do not "eat" in the traditional sense. Instead, lichen absorb nutrients and minerals from the air, water, and surrounding environment. They have a symbiotic relationship with algae or cyanobacteria, which provide them with energy through photosynthesis.
Lichens can be found all over the entire world. two animals that eat the Lichens are Caribou and Reindeer.
An example of a lichen is the reindeer lichen found in arctic and subarctic regions. This lichen forms a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga, growing on rocks, soil, or tree branches. Reindeer lichen is an important food source for animals like reindeer and caribou.
The associated algae in a lichen provide food through photosynthesis, which is essential for the lichen's survival.
The scientific name for fruticose lichen is Cladonia.
They survive on presence of pollutants, more the pollutant more the lichen and vice versa.
They eat grasses, mosses, and mostly lichen. LEMMINGS
