Description

लाइकेन (Lichen) निम्न श्रेणी की ऐसी छोटी वनस्पतियों का एक समूह है, जो विभिन्न प्रकार के आधारों पर उगे हुए पाए जाते हैं। इन आधारों में वृक्षों की पत्तियाँ एवं छाल, प्राचीन दीवारें, भूतल, चट्टान और शिलाएँ मुख्य हैं। यद्यपि ये अधिकतर धवल रंग के होते हैं, तथापि लाल, नारंगी, बैंगनी, नीले एवं भूरे तथा अन्य चित्ताकर्षक रंगों के लाइकेन भी पाए जाते हैं। इनकी वृद्धि की गति मंद होती है एंव इनके आकार और बनावट में भी पर्याप्त भिन्नता रहती है। लाइकेन एक स्वपोषी, सुकायवत, संयुक्त, सहजीवी जीव है, जिसमें एक कवक तथा एक शैवाल साथ-साथ संयुक्त रूप से रहते हैं ।

A lichen is a symbiosis of algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species, along with a yeast embedded in the cortex or "skin", in a mutualistic relationship. Lichens are important actors in nutrient cycling and act as producers which many higher trophic feeders feed on, such as reindeer, gastropods, nematodes, mites, and springtails. Lichens have properties different from those of their component organisms. They come in many colors, sizes, and forms and are sometimes plant-like, but are not plants. They may have tiny, leafless branches (fruticose); flat leaf-like structures (foliose); grow crust-like, adhering tightly to a surface (substrate) like a thick coat of paint (crustose); have a powder-like appearance (leprose); or other growth forms.
