Description
Bran lichens are a type of lichen often found on tree trunks and branches in Northern Hemisphere forests. They thrive in cool, moist environments and can withstand harsh winter conditions, making them essential components of boreal and temperate ecosystems. Some species of bran lichens exhibit a foliose form, meaning they have a leaf-like structure, which helps maximize surface area for nutrient absorption and gas exchange.
