Carolina shield lichen

Canoparmelia caroliniana

A species of Shield lichens

Carolina shield lichen is a type of lichen, organisms that result from the symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga. This lichen is known for its flat, leaf-like thallus that usually exhibits a grey-green color. It tends to grow on the bark of hardwood trees in forests or woodlands, often favoring humid environments. Carolina shield lichen plays a role in its ecosystem by participating in nutrient cycles and serving as an indicator of air quality.
