Descrizione/Description
In Casalvento this lichen grows in the most humid areas of the area and in summer it is collected by hand on the branches of the older oak trees. The only species of moss that is interesting to us is Evernia Prunastri, which has long growth spurs that are grey-blue in colour. Considered a biological indicator of air pollution (absent in urban and industrial areas), it is abundantly present in our areas. It is used in pharmaceuticals for the repairing action of skin lesions, in perfumery as a fixative with powdery notes and recently also in liquor
