Description
Pyrrhospora lichen is a group of crustose lichens commonly found on tree bark and rocks. They are characterized by their bright orange or red-orange fruiting bodies, which stand out against their pale thallus. These lichens play a role in ecological succession and can be indicators of air quality in some environments. Some species within pyrrhospora lichen are known for their ability to tolerate high levels of metal pollution.
