Description

Pachyphiale lichen is a genus of lichens that form small, crust-like growths on tree bark. They are characterized by their disc-shaped fruiting bodies, which are typically dark-colored and embedded in the lichen's surface. These lichens are found in various parts of the world, particularly in temperate and tropical regions. They play a role in forest ecosystems by contributing to biodiversity and potentially serving as indicators of air quality.
