Description
Psilolechia is a fascinating and small group of lichens found primarily on rocks in cool, shaded environments. Known for their strikingly bright colors, psilolechia often exhibit a vibrant yellow or greenish hue, making them visually distinctive. They thrive in areas with high humidity and are commonly discovered in forested regions around the world. Despite their small size, psilolechia play a significant role in their ecosystems by contributing to the formation of soil and providing habitats for tiny organisms.
