Description
Fringed lichen is a lichen primarily found on rocks and occasionally on tree bark. This group is interesting because its leaf-like structures can curl up during dry periods, helping it retain moisture. Additionally, some species within fringed lichen are known to thrive in areas with high levels of air pollution, making them indicators of environmental quality.
