Description

Polyblastia lichen is a group of crustose lichens often found on rocks or bark. They form thin, crusty growths that closely adhere to their substrate. Many species in this group have a distinctive feature of producing multiple spores within each ascus, unlike most other lichens. Some polyblastia lichen species are adapted to harsh environments, including Arctic and alpine regions.
