Description

Heppiaceae is a family of lichens known for their tiny, squamule-like thalli. These organisms typically grow on soil or rocks in arid regions. Many species in this group have a close association with cyanobacteria, which help them survive in harsh environments. Some heppiaceae lichens play a role in stabilizing soil and preventing erosion in desert ecosystems.
