Description
Placynthiaceae is a family of lichens found worldwide. They often grow on rocks, especially in coastal areas and mountains. These lichens form thin, dark-colored crusts that can spread widely over surfaces. Some species in this group have a unique ability to survive in harsh environments, including areas with high salt spray or extreme temperatures. Their growth patterns and adaptations make them important in ecological studies of rocky habitats.
