Dotted lichen is a type of lichen that emerges as small, crust-like patches predominantly in cool, shady environments. It often appears on tree bark and damp rocks, where it contributes to the ecosystem by cycling nutrients. Its name derives from the small, black dots visible on its surface, which are its reproductive structures.
