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.
