Description
Thallinocarpon is a lichen group known for its unique reproductive structures. It forms small, crust-like growths on rocks in arid regions. The lichen's thallus is notably thin and closely adhered to the substrate. Its distinctive feature is the development of special cavities that house algal cells, aiding in photosynthesis and survival in harsh environments.
