Description
Sarea lichen is a fascinating group most commonly found on decaying wood or bark of trees in temperate forests. Renowned for its vibrant color, sarea lichen often presents as tiny, eye-catching spots, making them easy to spot for curious nature wanderers. Even though it’s small, its role in the ecosystem is significant by contributing to the decomposition process, thereby cycling nutrients back into the environment.
