beard lichen

Lichen is sensitive to air pollution. Beard lichen gets its nutrition directly from the air and rainwater because it has no roots.

 

Lichens are basically found in all forests, but air pollution destroys the lichen quickly. Instead, in clean air, they can grow to 10 or even 20 centimeters in length.
