Description

Blistered navel lichens is a fascinating group of lichens, known for their unique, bumpy, and blistered appearance. They often attach to rocks and can be found in diverse habitats, from arid regions to alpine environments. One interesting fact is that they have an extraordinary ability to survive extreme conditions, including high levels of UV radiation and prolonged dehydration. This resilience makes blistered navel lichens an excellent subject of study for understanding survival in harsh environments.
