From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Letharia vulpina, commonly known as the wolf lichen (although the species name vulpina, from vulpine relates to the fox), is a fruticose lichenized species of fungus in the family Parmeliaceae.
This is because a lichen is not a separate organism in the sense of being one type of individual. It is actually a close partnership between a fungus and an alga. (Algae are very simple plants). The two types of organisms in the partnership are so closely interwoven that they appear as a single individual.n lichens where the partner is a species of Nostoc, organic nitrogen is also supplied to the fungus, because Nostoc is able to fix atmospheric nitrogen. In return, the water, nutrients and gases absorbed from the environment by the fungus are shared with the algae.
