Description
Strigulales are mostly tropical lichens found growing on leaves, forming thin crusts or spots. They have a unique relationship with algae, creating a symbiotic partnership. Some species in this group can be used as bio-indicators of air quality. Strigulales often have small, black fruiting bodies that resemble tiny dots on the leaf surface.
