Protoblastenia lichen is a species found on rocks, especially calcareous substrates, in temperate regions. It forms symbiotic relationships with algae, resulting in a lichenized state. Protoblastenia lichen is characterized by its crust-like, often cracked appearance, and typically displays a range of color from pale to dark. It reproduces through spores contained in small, disk-like structures on its surface.
