What stories are behind the organisms that integrate the ecosystems? And this stories, alongside with art and science stories, can together propose new speculations about complex systems beyond the objectivity and hegemony of human thought?

Linchs_ is a cartography investigation on lichens mutualistic relation. Lichens are organisms formed through symbiotic mutualism between an alga (or cyanobacterium) and fungi. Present from around 2.5 billion to 543 million years ago, this association generally consists of a unicellular pleurostrophic green alga, such as Trebouxia, Pseudotrebouxia, or Myrmecia, or usually cyanobacteria like Nostoc or Scytonema. The fungal partner can be an Ascomycete (about 98%) or Basidiomycete (about 2%). However, in all cases, the appearance of the fungus in the lichen is quite different from its morphology as an individual growing separately. Each lichen species has a different fungal species, and it is based on this species that lichens are classified. About 15,000 to 20,000 species of lichens are described, according to different classification systems. They can be found in a wide variety of habitats: glaciers, rocks, trees, leaves, deserts, etc. In many situations, they settle in inhospitable places with few nutritional resources, such as rocks.
