Description
Lichenostigma lichen is a group of lichenicolous fungi, meaning they grow on other lichens. These tiny organisms form dark, rounded structures on their host lichens, often appearing as small black dots. They are parasitic, obtaining nutrients from their lichen hosts without providing any benefits in return. Lichenostigma lichen species are highly specialized, with many only able to grow on specific lichen species.
