KEY FEATURES
• INSTANT AI IDENTIFICATION
Point your camera at any lichen — on rock, bark, soil, wall, or leaf — and get the species name in seconds. No botany degree, no field guide, no expert knowledge required. Just a photo.
• THOUSANDS OF SPECIES COVERED
Our database spans the full range of lichen morphology: crustose (crust-forming), foliose (leaf-like), and fruticose (shrub-like) species from ecosystems worldwide — Arctic tundra, alpine cliffs, temperate forests, coastal bluffs, and tropical rainforest floors.
• DEEP ECOLOGICAL INSIGHTS
Every identification comes with rich detail: preferred habitat, global distribution, air pollution sensitivity, ecological function, and the relationship between the lichen's fungal and photosynthetic partners. Learn not just the name — learn the story.
• LICHEN COLLECTION
Save every identification to your personal collection. Build a growing record of everything you've found — species name, location, and date — and review it anytime, even offline.
• BUILT FOR EVERY SKILL LEVEL
From the weekend hiker who spotted something unusual to the professional lichenologist doing fieldwork — Lichen Identifier works for everyone. Clean interface. Fast results. No prior expertise needed.
• COMPLETELY PRIVATE
The developer does not collect any data from you. No account. No tracking. No ads. Your identifications are yours alone.
WHAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY
Lichen Identifier recognizes species across all major morphological groups:
— Crustose: flat, crust-like forms embedded in rock or bark
— Foliose: leafy, lobed lichens growing on trees and soil
— Fruticose: branching, shrub-like or hair-like forms
— Squamulose: small scale-like species on soil and rock
— Cyanolichens: species partnered with cyanobacteria instead of algae
From the cold rock faces of Scotland and Scandinavia to the ancient tree trunks of old-growth Pacific Northwest forests — wherever you are, Lichen Identifier works.
