Umthombo we-vanillin, syric aldehyde, i-dimethyl sulfoxide, i-lignin (i-deskaline) ingaba yi-penoric plastitics, ukuqinisa irabha (i-esp for oud soles), njengoba i-oyili ka-soles), ukuqinisa ama-asphalt emulsions, ukuhlanganisa amaprotheni.

Ukubukeka okuphelele kwama-lichens kuchazwa njengo-crustose (benza uqweqwe oluncanyana futhi olusicaba ku-substratum), i-foliose noma i-fruticose (amafomu ahlutshiwe (amafomu ahlutshiwe, amafomu ahlutshiwe, afana nezihlahlana). Ama-lichens akhula kancane kusuka kumamilimitha ambalwa aya kumamitha ambalwa ngonyaka. Bazala kabusha kakhulu ngokuthuthukiswa kwe-apothecia noma i-perothecia, bakha izikebhe ezintsha ekuhlumeni kwama-ascossores kuphela lapho ufelwa ngumlingani wakhe.
Cishe amakhemikhali angama-700, ahlukile kuma-lichens, asize ama-lichens ukuze asinde futhi anqande ukuhlaselwa ngamagciwane, okunye isikhunta nokudla amadlelo.
Ama-Lichens angawemiphakathi yenhlabathi-crust futhi asize ukuqinisa inhlabathi, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni eziwugwadule. I-Cyanolichens ifaka isandla ekulungiseni i-nitrogen ku-ecosystem lapho zikhula khona. I-Lichegare esetshenziselwe ukukhomba iminyaka yobudala (lapho zikhula khona) ngenqubo, ebizwa ngeLichecometry ..
Ama-Lichens akhombisa ukungcola ngenxa yokuzwela kwabo eSulphur Dioxide (SO2), i-nitrogen dioxide (no2) (no2) ne-ozone, kanye nekhono labo lokudonsa nokuqongelela ama-radionuclides ..
Izinto ezinjengezingane, ubuthi, ama-antibiotic, njll. Zitholwe kusuka ku-lichens, eziwusizo ikakhulukazi njengomthombo wamadayi (ngokwesibonelo, i-roccella, ukuhlinzeka nge-litmus), imithi namakha. Amanye ama-lichens, njenge-Iceland moss kanye ne-reindeer moss, asetshenziswa njengokudla ezifundeni ze-arctic.
