Fossil #lichen from #Devonian era shows how #fungi — #algae alliance paved way for terrestrial life https://phys.org/news/2025-10-fossil-lichen-devonian-era-fungi.html
The rise of lichens during the colonization of terrestrial environments https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adw7879
"#Lichens were already widespread more than 410 million years ago, according to a new study that identifies a fossil from #Brazil as one of the oldest lichen... lichens were not marginal organisms, but key pioneers in the transformation of Earth's surface"

"certain lichen species preferentially colonize exposed dinosaur bones, creating distinctive spectral signatures that can be detected from 30 m above ground using drones... This likely occurs because the bones provide the alkaline, calcareous, and porous substrates the lichens favor... This pattern has been noted for decades, but never quantified until now"
