Description
Mycoglaena is a group of lichens that grow on tree bark or wood. They form small, dark-colored spots or patches on their substrate. These lichens have a unique structure where their fungal partner surrounds algal cells, creating a protective layer. Some species in this group can be found in both temperate and tropical regions around the world.
