Description
Lempholemma lichen is a group of lichens known for their gelatinous, jelly-like appearance when wet. They typically grow on rocks or soil in damp environments. These lichens have a dark color, often appearing black or deep blue-green. Lempholemma lichen species are notable for their ability to rapidly absorb water and swell significantly, changing their appearance dramatically between dry and wet conditions.
