Lichen by Rob Hodgson

Lichen: The Beginner’s Guide to the Lichens of the World by Rob Hodgson is a beautifully illustrated mini field guide celebrating the tiny, often-overlooked lichens growing all around us — on walls, trees, rooftops and beyond. Once you start spotting them, there’s no going back!

Why we love it

This book has serious “eyes wide open” energy. It turns a quiet walk into a mini adventure and makes the everyday feel magical. It’s small but mighty; perfect for popping in a backpack (or a grown-up's back pocket) and heading out on lichen-hunting missions.
