Description
Catillariaceae are a group of lichens known for their resilience and habitat versatility. They can often be found on rocks and tree bark in various climates, from hot and dry areas to cold regions. These lichens contribute significantly to soil formation by breaking down rock surfaces over time. They often have a crust-like appearance, blending into their surroundings, which makes them fascinating yet easily overlooked components of their ecosystems.
