Royal fern (Osmunda regalis). Fertile fronds covered with sporangia - Osmunda regalis lives on poor, fairly acidic soils, such as sandy, clayey and peaty environments. These environments must be characterized by high humidity. In temperate Europe, it is generally found under the canopy of swampy woods (marshes or peat bogs), or under alders and willows on the banks of streams or ditches. It is often found in association with alder, notably in the Alnion glutinosae or Osmundo-Alnion plant associations - a large fern common in Galicia, and cosmopolitan.

Pulmonary lichen (Lobaria pulmonaria) in the Vercors. A large foliaceous lichen - one of the largest in Europe - whose thallus commonly exceeds about 30 cm. Like all lichens, it is a lichenised fungus, and like most of them it belongs to the ascomycetes group. Its membership of the cyanolichen category, fungi associated with cyanobacteria, makes it a particularly sensitive organism to atmospheric pollution. It is therefore a species in decline in many regions and has been chosen as a health index for French forests. Ambel forest, Vercors NRP, France
