Description

Megaspora lichen is a genus of crustose lichens. These lichens form thin, crust-like growths on various surfaces, often appearing as patches on rocks or tree bark. They are characterized by their large, distinctive spores, which are much bigger than those of most other lichen species. Megaspora lichen lichens play important roles in their ecosystems, contributing to soil formation and providing habitats for small organisms.
