Description
Dot lichen is a fascinating group of lichens that often display tiny, dot-like fruiting bodies on their surfaces. They can be found in diverse environments, ranging from tree bark to rocks. Species within this group participate in unique symbiotic relationships with algae, thriving together on substrates in both sunny and shaded areas. The subtle yet intricate patterns they form can sometimes be visually stunning, especially when observed up close.
