Stone Forests (Lichens)

Lichen is just about the only plant life that exists in Ashen. While some of it is edible to humans most of it is only edible by the organisms that live in the wastes. These Lichens can grow into huge clonal colonies or "Stone Forests". They house most of the life in Ashen that does not live underground. The lichens reproduce when the violent electrical storms break of large chunks of its bio mass and spread it to a new area. While the forests are harmless what lies within may not be.
