Description
Lichenochora lichen is a genus of lichenicolous fungi, meaning they grow exclusively on lichens. These tiny organisms form small, dark structures on their lichen hosts. They are parasites, deriving nutrients from the lichen they inhabit. Lichenochora lichen species are highly specialized, often targeting specific lichen genera or species. Their presence can sometimes cause visible damage or discoloration to the host lichen.
