Description

Cladidium lichen is a type of lichen known for its intricate, tufted appearance. These lichens often grow on tree bark or rocks, thriving in various, often harsh, environments. They form a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium, enabling them to survive where many other organisms cannot. They play a crucial role in ecosystems by breaking down rocks into soil and providing habitats for small insects.
