As a subset of WP:FUNGI, the lichen task force is working to improve coverage of the world's lichens – unique organisms composed of one or more fungal partners with one or more photosynthetic partners. A growing body of evidence suggests that some of the roughly 1000 secondary metabolites produced by various lichens may prove instrumental in our ongoing battle against harmful pathogens.

Happy holidays! Regardless of which holidays you choose to celebrate, here's hoping they're enjoyable. As we reach the end of our first six months, we can be proud of the progress we've made to date – particularly considering the tiny size of our task force. We now have more than 4,100 articles, categories, templates and redirects under our watch. We've created a sizeable glossary (with more entries being added every day), whittled down the project's cleanup listing, and added biographies about a number of prominent lichenologists. To date, we have one Featured Article and 23 Good Articles. Clearly, there's plenty more to do, but we're off to a solid start. Here's to a productive new year! |

Editors have been busy over the past month:

A sentence in our Cladonia squamosa article was challenged back in 2014(!!) when a reader discovered that the supplied source did not corroborate the information. The editor who finds a valid source for the sentence (or corrects the information as necessary) and, in addition, replaces any redlinks with appropriate links to our new glossary of lichen terms will get public kudos in the next newsletter. | |

Signed, Pichemist ( Contribs | Talk ) 20:00, 29 December 2022 (UTC)Thanks! That was fast CorradoNai ( talk) 21:29, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Just so you're aware (since s/he didn't even bother to inform you himself/herself), Pichemist has submitted your new article to WP:GAN. That's really not on! The instructions right on the nomination page say "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article must consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination." Clearly, s/he didn't bother to read that! MeegsC ( talk) 21:21, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Thanks MeegsC for your comment. But I thought it was a good thing for it to be nominated as GA? Or what am I missing? CorradoNai ( talk) 21:32, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
I see, thank you for pointing this out MeegsC, I was totally unaware. So it would look like as though submitting for GAN s/he gets the credit for creating a GA? If so a bit dodgy, especially as as you mention, there might be questions asked during the review process CorradoNai ( talk) 21:40, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi Corrado: Yes, I'd be happy to help review the article! As you say, it is definitely a monster. ;) But a really cool subject and you've done some great work here. A few quick things to get you started:

SYMBIOSIS: The
lichen task force newsletter — January 2023 A look at what we've accomplished, working together | ||
Happy new year! We head into 2023 with plenty of work to do. We're missing articles on a handful of lichen families, scores of lichen genera and thousands of lichen species. Dozens of important lichenologists are "missing" too. We need to check or update the taxonomy of hundreds of existing taxa articles. Many articles about basic lichen structures and functions are either tiny stubs or badly in need of referencing or updating. There's certainly enough to keep us busy for a good long while! Here's to a productive year ahead. |

Kazamzam met last month's challenge and provided an updated reference for the Cladonia squamosa article – which indicated a significantly larger world range for the species than had been previously listed. Nice job! This month, we're looking for someone to replace the dead reference in Ramalina fraxinea (defunct since April 2018!) with one (or more) which corroborates the information that the old reference did. The editor who meets this challenge will get public kudos in the next newsletter. | ||

Did you know that scientists have done experiments on the International Space Station where lichens have been exposed to space for weeks at a time — enduring the vacuum, solar radiation, and frigid temperatures outside of the station — and that these lichens have then photosynthesized normally when returned to earth?

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Fungi in art you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of TompaDompa -- TompaDompa ( talk) 10:02, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
The article Fungi in art you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Fungi in art for reasons why the nomination failed.

SYMBIOSIS: The
Lichen task force newsletter — May 2023 A look at what we've accomplished, working together | ||
It's been a few months since the last newsletter, primarily because there hasn't been much to report! We continue to make slow progress on turning red links to blue in the outline of lichens, mostly through the addition of articles about lichen taxa. The glossary of lichen terms has also continued to grow, with dozens of definitions added over the past few months. However, given that there are more than 1000 lichen genera (we have articles on just under 900 of them), and more than 20,000 lichen species (90% of which have no article yet), there's plenty more to write about. All hands on deck! |

Greetings, CorradoNai, I'm Netherzone, an editor who has been contributing to WP for some time now primarily focusing on Visual art, and an emphasis on environmental and ecological art as well as contemporary Indigenous artists. I also have an interest in hot springs, as you can see from my user page. While I am not an expert in fungi, it certainly is interest of mine (I have attended the Telluride Mushroom Festival a couple times, attended cultivation and identification workshops, and gone on multiple forays in various places in the Northern hemisphere.) I created the articles on the mycologists/mushroom enthusiasts Gary Lincoff, Laura Guzmán Dávalos and Eugenia Bone. I'd like to help out with improving the article Fungi in art.

Hi Corrado! I was copyediting this article recently and noticed it uses spelling from both dialects. Since there isn’t a strong consensus on the issue, I thought I’d pose this question here and not on the article talk page. I think the readability and consistency of the article might be improved by using only British English, since that is what I saw used the most. I’d be happy to make the changes myself if that is alright. Let me know! Blackberrybee ( talk) 15:02, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Our tiny task force is working to improve coverage of the world's lichens – unique symbiotic organisms composed of one or more fungal partners with one or more photosynthetic partners. They're found around the world, covering more than 7% of the earth's surface – from frigid polar areas to the steamy equator, from the edges of lapping seas to the highest mountains, and from city walls to the most pristine wilderness areas. They provide food and nesting material for myriad animal species, may be major players in the creation of soil from rock, and produce substances which may prove beneficial in our fight against pathogenic organisms.

The "Phytochemistry" section in our Stereocaulon ramulosum is convoluted and virtually unreadable – and has had a "clarification needed" tag since July of 2022. The editor who whips this short section into shape (and the one who cleans up the associated references) will get public kudos in the next newsletter. | |

SYMBIOSIS: The
lichen task force newsletter — December 2023 A look at what we've accomplished, working together | |
As 2023 draws to a close, we can look back with more than a modicum of pride on the progress we've made this year. We've added a few stars to our showcase with our first featured list and a handful of new good articles, created a plethora of new taxa articles, and added biographies for more than a dozen important lichenologists. We've resolved dozens of outstanding "cleanup" issues, and begun to polish some existing articles about various lichen structures. All in all, it's been a fairly productive year! Here's hoping that the coming holidays are happy ones, whichever you choose to celebrate. |

Kazamzam cleaned up the references for our Stereocaulon ramulosum article to meet part of the challenge issued in the last newletter. Unfortunately, the Phytochemistry section of that article is still a mess, just in case anybody feels motivated to complete the rest of the challenge! This month, we're looking for someone to take a look at the Malmidea article, which hasn't been updated since 2020. Since then, the number of species assigned to the genus has grown from the 52 listed in our article to the 68 listed by Species Fungorum (via the Catalogue of Life). The editor who updates the list will receive public kudos in the next newsletter. | |

Happy New Year! The colour-coded list to the right shows the status of the project as of the end of 2023; compare it with the list in last January's newsletter to see how far we've come. It's clearly an improvement, but equally, it shows how much we still have to do. There are scores of articles about lichen genera still to write, thousands of lichen species are missing, and there are reams of information still to add about the effects of climate change, air pollution and more on lichen diversity and survival. It's more than enough to keep us occupied for decades to come. Here's to a productive year! |

However, given that there are more than 1000 lichen genera (we have articles on just under 900 of them), and more than 20,000 lichen species (90% of which have no article yet), there's plenty more to write about. All hands on deck! |

Greetings, CorradoNai, I'm Netherzone, an editor who has been contributing to WP for some time now primarily focusing on Visual art, and an emphasis on environmental and ecological art as well as contemporary Indigenous artists. I also have an interest in hot springs, as you can see from my user page. While I am not an expert in fungi, it certainly is interest of mine (I have attended the Telluride Mushroom Festival a couple times, attended cultivation and identification workshops, and gone on multiple forays in various places in the Northern hemisphere.) I created the articles on the mycologists/mushroom enthusiasts Gary Lincoff, Laura Guzmán Dávalos and Eugenia Bone. I'd like to help out with improving the article Fungi in art.

Hi Corrado! I was copyediting this article recently and noticed it uses spelling from both dialects. Since there isn’t a strong consensus on the issue, I thought I’d pose this question here and not on the article talk page. I think the readability and consistency of the article might be improved by using only British English, since that is what I saw used the most. I’d be happy to make the changes myself if that is alright. Let me know! Blackberrybee ( talk) 15:02, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
SYMBIOSIS: The
lichen task force newsletter — November 2023 A look at what we've accomplished, working together | |
Our tiny task force is working to improve coverage of the world's lichens – unique symbiotic organisms composed of one or more fungal partners with one or more photosynthetic partners. They're found around the world, covering more than 7% of the earth's surface – from frigid polar areas to the steamy equator, from the edges of lapping seas to the highest mountains, and from city walls to the most pristine wilderness areas. They provide food and nesting material for myriad animal species, may be major players in the creation of soil from rock, and produce substances which may prove beneficial in our fight against pathogenic organisms.

The "Phytochemistry" section in our Stereocaulon ramulosum is convoluted and virtually unreadable – and has had a "clarification needed" tag since July of 2022. The editor who whips this short section into shape (and the one who cleans up the associated references) will get public kudos in the next newsletter. | |

SYMBIOSIS: The
lichen task force newsletter — December 2023 A look at what we've accomplished, working together | |
As 2023 draws to a close, we can look back with more than a modicum of pride on the progress we've made this year. We've added a few stars to our showcase with our first featured list and a handful of new good articles, created a plethora of new taxa articles, and added biographies for more than a dozen important lichenologists. We've resolved dozens of outstanding "cleanup" issues, and begun to polish some existing articles about various lichen structures. All in all, it's been a fairly productive year! Here's hoping that the coming holidays are happy ones, whichever you choose to celebrate. |

Kazamzam cleaned up the references for our Stereocaulon ramulosum article to meet part of the challenge issued in the last newletter. Unfortunately, the Phytochemistry section of that article is still a mess, just in case anybody feels motivated to complete the rest of the challenge! This month, we're looking for someone to take a look at the Malmidea article, which hasn't been updated since 2020. Since then, the number of species assigned to the genus has grown from the 52 listed in our article to the 68 listed by Species Fungorum (via the Catalogue of Life). The editor who updates the list will receive public kudos in the next newsletter. | |

SYMBIOSIS: The
lichen task force newsletter — January 2024 A look at what we've accomplished, working together | |
Happy New Year! The colour-coded list to the right shows the status of the project as of the end of 2023; compare it with the list in last January's newsletter to see how far we've come. It's clearly an improvement, but equally, it shows how much we still have to do. There are scores of articles about lichen genera still to write, thousands of lichen species are missing, and there are reams of information still to add about the effects of climate change, air pollution and more on lichen diversity and survival. It's more than enough to keep us occupied for decades to come. Here's to a productive year! |

Esculenta accepted last month's challenge and updated the Malmidea article with 14 additional species now recognised by Species Fungorum as being in the genus. This month, we're looking for someone to update the Gassicurtia article, last updated in January of 2021. According to Species Fungorum, there are now four additional species in the genus. The editor who updates the article will receive public kudos in the next newsletter. | |

SYMBIOSIS: The
lichen task force newsletter — April 2024 A look at what we've accomplished, working together | |
It's been a busy first quarter for the project, with a staggering 12 new good articles added since the beginning of the year. Esculenta has led the charge, with assistance from an editor who is thus far unaffiliated with the project. Many thanks to them and to the reviewers who worked with them to help improve the articles. As ever, there's still plenty to do... |

MariahKRogers accepted the last issue's challenge and updated our Gassicurtia article with four additional species now recognised by Species Fungorum as being in the genus. This time around, we're looking for someone willing to update the species listed in the Byssoloma article, last checked in April of 2021. Species Fungorum now shows five additional species in the genus. The editor who updates the article will receive public kudos in the next newsletter. | |
