Description

Arthopyreniaceae is a family of lichens that grow on tree bark. They form thin, smooth crusts that are often pale gray or whitish. These lichens are widespread in temperate and tropical regions. Some species in this family can be used as bio-indicators of air quality, as they are sensitive to pollution levels in their environment.
