Description
Pertusariales are an interesting group of lichens known for their intricate and often colorful forms, commonly found on rocks, soil, and tree bark. They can survive in extreme environments, ranging from deserts to arctic tundra. Some members of this group are used as bioindicators to monitor air quality since they are sensitive to pollution. Their diverse structures and hardy nature make them fascinating subjects for study in lichenology.
