The famous botanist Carl von Linne considered the lichens to be just << rustici pauperrimi >> - the poor trash of vegetation - and he did not even distinguish families or genera of lichens but classified them all in one genus << lichen >>. Admittedly, most lichens have rather inconspicuous greyish or greenish thalli but some are producing yellow, orange or red pigments, and the variability of their growth forms (crustose, foliose, shrub-like or even barbe-like) and their fruiting bodies (round or elongate, open or closed, exposed on podetia or hidden in the thallus) is fascinating. in the 19th century many botanists became interested in this group of organisms and started to investigate them in more detail - such as the two famous botanists of Geneva Augustin Pyramus de Candolle and Jean Miller Argoviensis.
