Description
Pyrenulales is an order of lichens that primarily grow on tree bark. These lichens form thin, crust-like structures that blend seamlessly with their substrate. They are known for their distinctive fruiting bodies, which are small, flask-shaped structures partially embedded in the lichen's surface. Some species in this group have adapted to survive in tropical rainforests, while others thrive in temperate regions.
