Description
Sphinctrina lichen is a unique group of lichens known for their tiny, pin-like fruiting bodies. These structures resemble small black dots on tree bark or other lichens. Interestingly, sphinctrina lichen does not produce its own food but instead parasitizes other lichens, obtaining nutrients from its host. This group is often found in old-growth forests and can be an indicator of ecosystem health.
