A corticolous lichen is a lichen that grows on bark. [1] [2] This is contrasted with lignicolous lichen, which grows on wood that has had the bark stripped from it, [3] and saxicolous lichen, which grows on rock. [4]
Examples of corticolous lichens include the crustose lichen Graphis plumierae, [5] foliose lichen Melanohalea subolivacea [6] and the fruticose Bryoria fuscescens. [7]
