Description

Thyrea lichen is a genus of lichens found in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. These lichens form small, dark, cushion-like structures on rocks and soil. They are well-adapted to survive extreme temperatures and prolonged dry periods. Some species in this group can absorb water vapor directly from the air, allowing them to thrive in harsh desert environments.
