Description
Psorotichia lichen is a group of lichens that typically form small, dark crusts on rocks or soil. They are known for their ability to thrive in harsh environments, including desert regions. Many species in this group have a unique structure where algal cells are embedded within fungal tissue, creating a symbiotic relationship. Some psorotichia lichen lichens play a role in stabilizing soil in arid ecosystems.
