Description

Trichothelium lichen is a genus of lichenized fungi found primarily in tropical regions. These lichens often grow on the leaves of plants, forming tiny, dark spots visible to the naked eye. They have a unique structure with flask-shaped fruiting bodies embedded in the lichen thallus. Some species of trichothelium lichen are known to form associations with specific types of algae.
