Description
Diploicia lichen is a fascinating lichen group known for its unique, crusty appearance that often resembles patches of paint splatter on rocks. Members of this group typically thrive in coastal regions and are especially good indicators of air quality, as they are sensitive to pollution. Some species in the group form symbiotic relationships with algae, which help them photosynthesize and produce essential nutrients.
