Plant of the Week. Lobaria pulmonaria (wet). The bright green color indicates that this lungwort lichen is saturated with water and pliable. Photo by Ralph Pope. Lobaria pulmonaria (dry). When lungwort dries out, it is lighter in color. Dry lichens are very brittle and sensitive to disturbance.Photo by Karen Dillman. Abundant growth of sun-tolerant lungwort. When shade lichens can grow in sunny environments, their pigment is generally darker in response to the light.he underside of this lichen is pale with pockets of cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) that are dark in color. Lungwortâs main method of reproducing is by granule-like masses of fungi and algae (called soredia) that form on the top surface of this lichen.
