Description
Peltigerales are a remarkable group of lichens that often have a strong, earthy smell. They are usually found in cool, moist environments like forests and can be identified by their leafy or foliose appearance. Some peltigerales species are known to host cyanobacteria, which allows them to fix nitrogen from the air, enriching the soil. This ecological role makes them crucial for forest health and nutrient cycling.
