Description
Spotted felt lichens are lichens notably recognized for their unique, leaf-like formations and distinctive, spotty appearance. They thrive in moist, shaded environments like rainforests or mountainous regions, relying on a symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi. Known for their ability to retain water, spotted felt lichens contribute to their ecosystems by providing habitats for small invertebrates and serving as bioindicators of air quality due to their sensitivity to pollution.
