Description
Stippleback lichens is a fascinating group of foliose lichens known for their distinctive, leathery thalli that adhere closely to their substrates. These lichens typically grow on rocks, often in moist or shaded environments, and can also be found on soil or tree bark. A notable feature of stippleback lichens species is their ability to withstand harsh conditions, including drought and extreme temperatures, due to their tough, resilient thalli. They contribute to nutrient cycling and soil formation within their ecosystems.
