The Society's journal, The Lichenologist, contains taxonomic revisions of critical groups, articles of ecological, physiological and environmental interest, including a bibliographic series on lichens and air pollution, and many other matters of interest to lichenologists throughout the world.
The BLS Bulletin is sent twice yearly to all who join the Society (associate and full members). It contains short articles on many aspects of lichenology (many with colour illustrations) as well as reports of meetings, administrative documents etc. Follow this link for an example article concerning an expedition to Nepal which took place in 2007.
Both publications are free to certain categories of membership (see the Prospectus). The Society welcomes membership from any persons world-wide interested in lichenology.
The Lichenologist is available to Institutions from Cambridge University Press and is also available online.
Past issues of The Lichenologist are now available on the Cambridge Journals Online system to BLS members who opt to take the lichenologist. Such members have been sent a membership subscriber number. If you are such a member, setting up access is quick and easy.

The New Lichen Flora is now out!
The Lichen Flora of Great Britain and Ireland (The Lichens of Great Britain and Ireland) published in 1992 was an outstanding
achievement for British Lichenology. It was a pioneering work and the first of its type
in Europe. This latest, much enlarged revision, reflects the considerable accumulation of new
information that has occurred since the publication of the first edition and is symptomatic
of the enormous advances in lichen taxonomy over the last two decades. For more details and an order form please follow this link.
