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.
Lichenized fungus may refer to the entire lichen, or to the fungus growing in it. The lichen combination of fungus with algae and/or cyanobacteria has a very different form (morphology), physiology, and biochemistry to the component parts growing by themselves.yanobacteria photobionts are called cyanobionts. The part of a lichen that is not involved in reproduction, the body or vegetative tissue of a lichen, is called the thallus. The thallus form is very different from any form where the fungus or alga are growing separately.
