Globe ball lichen

Sphaerophorus globosus

A species of Ball lichens

Globe ball lichen typically thrives in cool, damp environments such as those found in high-latitude forests. It has a distinctive appearance, with compact, ball-like structures that can be white to pale gray in color. These globular formations are often borne on slender stalks, creating a coral-like aesthetic. This species contributes to the ecosystem by breaking down dead plant material, thereby recycling nutrients.
