Description
Bacidina is a lichen group known for its unique symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. These lichens are often found in nutrient-poor environments, thriving on rocks, tree bark, and even man-made structures. Interestingly, bacidina plays a crucial role in ecosystems by contributing to soil formation and providing habitat for small invertebrates. Their ability to survive in harsh conditions makes them a fascinating example of nature's resilience.
