Description
You are nearly certain to have encountered fungi from the ramalinaceae family since they are very widespread and can be found growing on trees, walls, rocks, and pavement. These fungi grow as lichens, which are actually combinations of fungi with algae or bacteria which live within the fungal structure. It is easiest to spot ramalinaceae fungi in winter when many plants die off, revealing them.
