12 June: The perfect symbiosis: lichens

12 June: The perfect symbiosis: lichens

During our walks in nature we often observe trees, flowers, rocks, yet we do not realize that many of the surfaces we look at in reality we do not see them naked, but covered by organisms that have developed what could be considered the symbiosis par excellence: the lichens!

In this event dedicated to them we will have the pleasure of hosting the intervention Pier Luigi Nimis, professor of systematic botany at the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Trieste and author of the monumental catalog of Italian lichens "Lichens of Italy" .
