Description
You're likely to come across members of the verrucariaceae genus growing on rocks since this is their natural habitat. Most species grow in dry conditions, although a few are water tolerant and can be found on rocks in and around rivers and water. This genus of fungi is mainly *lichens* that are able to grow on and in the outer surface of rocks.
