Beard lichen is a remarkable type of lichen, a symbiotic entity formed from algae and fungus living together. It's known for the signature hair-like strands, which drape much like a beard, giving it a unique appearance. These structures help beard lichen to attach to tree branches and rocks, as it thrives in various environments ranging from forested areas to exposed mountainsides.
