Description
Catillaria lichen is a lichen known for its role in nature as a bioindicator, meaning it can reveal important information about air quality and environmental changes. This lichen typically grows on rocks and trees, forming tiny, sometimes almost unnoticeable patches. Despite its small size, catillaria lichen contributes significantly to ecosystems by recycling nutrients and supporting small invertebrates. Its ability to thrive in diverse habitats makes it an intriguing subject of study in lichenology.
