Hi, out of curiosity...can we actually propagate lichens in our backyards? Is it feasible? It seems like a good idea to help or allow them thrive in residential areas

ok ive gotten asks like this before and the answer is that like... unless you're a lichen researcher person and youre gathering existing lichens of the species you want outside and culturing them on plates in a lab for an experiment (how lichens are grown in a lab if i remember correctly because growing one from scratch with a fungal spore and a compatible algal spore still doesnt work, you still need the sourdough starter, and even then it takes a long time and is really hard), for the most part the lichens, they command respect in a way that plants dont, you see. the lichen chooses to grow where it wants, when it wants. it chooses the substrate and conditions and sticks to it. those microhabitats are hard to replicate and they take so long to grow and are so variable in their preferences, my advice is that if you want to have more lichens in your life, look into what organic substrates you want to attract wants, and leave those substrates lying around or growing in your backyard untouched for 10+ years. or alternatively find a patch and visit them. or alternatively move to a coastline if you havent already because they love the mist that rolls in and the temperate temperatures.

may i suggest visiting an old graveyard that doesnt scrape them off regularly? because they are loving graveyards let me tell you. perhaps an old retaining wall or big tree that for some reason has a lot of them on there while the other trees don't have as much. lichens are the kings of seeing one hyperspecific substance and going I Sleep and then seeing the same substance 4 feet to the left and going oh nevermind the 17-year-4-month-old-cinderblock-remnants-with-a-ittle-bit-of-dirty-water-dribbling-on-them-enjoyers have logged tf on actually

Covering the wall in stars, Campanula poscharskyana (trailing bellflower) has seeded into the mortar between the bricks. The low mound of foliage has spreading stems of flowers.

Because I don't WANT to be awake at midnight on the regular, I want to go back to being asleep by ten 😅

So up I get, an hour earlier than usual~
