Following in his father's footsteps, Fries studied botany, obtaining his doctoral degree in 1857 at Uppsala University, Uppsala. He is credited for introducing the term in a commentary about the genus lichen genus ''Stereocaulon'' in an 1858 publication. He became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1865 and professor of botany and applied economics at Uppsala in 1877.Jorgensen, Per Magnus. 2001. Th. M.

A lichen ( , ) is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship.Introduction to Lichens – An Alliance between Kingdoms . University of California Museum of Paleontology. Lichens have properties different from those of their component organisms. They come in many colors, sizes, and forms and are sometimes plant-like, but are not plants. They may have tiny, leafless branches ( fruticose); flat leaf-like structures ( foliose); grow crust ...

Pilophorus Fruticosus
''Pilophorus fruticosus'' is a species of lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. Found in China, it was formally described as a new species in 2011 by Li-Song Wang and Xin-Yu Wang. The type specimen was collected on the Cangshan Mountain (Dali County, Yunnan) at an elevation of ; here, the lichen was found growing on rock. The lichen has only been recorded from here and another locality in Yunnan, at a similar altitude. It contains the secondary chemicals atranorin and zeorin.
