Rock foam is found predominantly in alpine and arctic regions, thriving on rocky substrates. This lichen forms crusty, branched structures that sometimes resemble a foamy appearance, which helps it blend into its typically harsh environments. Rock foam plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by contributing to the formation of soil and serving as a bioindicator for air quality.
