Fruticose - lichens which are shrub-like or somewhat woody 2. Squamulose - lichens which are scaly 3. Umbilicate - lichens shaped or depressed like an umbilicus or navel 4. Foliose - species covered with leaves; leafy 5. Crustose - lichens which have a hard and brittle texture; those pressed closely to a rocky surface.
