Description
Lichenoconium lichen is a genus of lichenicolous fungi, meaning they grow on lichens. These tiny organisms are parasites, living on and potentially damaging their lichen hosts. They form small, dark-colored structures on the lichen surface. Lichenoconium lichen species can be found on various lichen types across different environments worldwide. Their presence can sometimes alter the appearance of the host lichen.
