Description

Lichinaceae are lichen that thrive in harsh environments like deserts and rocky areas. They form small, dark-colored crusts or tiny shrub-like structures on rocks and soil. Many lichinaceae species can survive extreme dryness and rapidly absorb water when available. Some members of this group have a unique ability to fix nitrogen, contributing to nutrient cycles in their ecosystems.
