Description
The vulpicida group is a type of lichen known for its vibrant yellow or greenish hues, often growing in cold, alpine, or boreal regions. They form a symbiotic relationship with algae, enabling them to survive in extreme environments by harnessing photosynthesis. Vulpicida can often be found on rocks, soil, or tree bark, and they play a crucial role in their ecosystems by contributing to soil formation and nitrogen fixation.
