Lichens are found almost everywhere , these are most common in damp places such as rainforests and temperate forests, and places where there is little or no sunlight. They can commonly be found on the ground or growing on surfaces such as bark of trees but are not restricted to them.

Being highly adaptable to its surrounding environment, Lichen can be found growing in an enormous spectrum of places. Lichen does have a preference for damp conditions along with a dislike of sunlight. They are often found on tree trunks and foliage as well as the ground.

Lichens are found almost everywhere. They are highly adaptable to a range of environments, including extreme conditions such as deserts and the Arctic tundra. They are, however, most common in damp places such as rainforests and temperate forests, and places where there is little or no sunlight. They can commonly be found on the ground or growing on surfaces such as trees (living and dead) but are not restricted to these places.

You can buy lichen at garden stores, pet stores or find it wild in some forests. Lichen is used as a filler for gardens, and sometimes in terrariums.
