Boreal oakmoss

Evernia mesomorpha

A species of Ring lichen

Boreal oakmoss is a lichen that thrives on the bark of trees, generally in boreal forests with cooler climates. Its presence can indicate clean air, as lichens are sensitive to air pollution. Boreal oakmoss has a unique symbiotic relationship, consisting of a fungus and algae living together, which enables it to photosynthesize and produce energy like a plant.
