Description

Acrocordia lichen is a group of crustose lichens found on tree bark. They form thin, pale gray to greenish crusts that blend seamlessly with their substrate. These lichens have small, black, flask-shaped structures called perithecia that contain spores. Acrocordia lichen species are often used as indicators of air quality and forest health due to their sensitivity to environmental changes.
