Description
Abrothallaceae is a group of lichens found primarily in temperate regions. These unique organisms live in a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Known for their ability to inhabit tree bark and decaying wood, abrothallaceae plays a key role in nutrient cycling and soil formation in their ecosystems. Some members of this group also exhibit intriguing structural adaptations, such as tiny, ornate fruiting bodies, which help them disperse their spores more effectively.
