Heterodermia echinata is a lichen-forming fungus notable for its reciprocal relationship with algae, which enables it to live on various surfaces, such as tree bark and rocks. Characterized by a leaf-like structure and delicate, hair-like growths, heterodermia echinata is mostly found in temperate forests. It contributes ecologically by participating in nutrient cycles and serving as habitat for microorganisms.
