Description
Eggyolk lichens are yellow, crust-like lichens commonly found on rocks, wood, and rooftops. Their bright, egg-yolk color makes them easy to spot. Growing slowly, eggyolk lichens can live for many years in sunny, dry habitats. They are pollution-sensitive, often serving as indicators of air quality. These lichens are involved in symbiosis, with fungi hosting photosynthetic partners, usually algae, enabling them to produce food from sunlight.
