Description
Orange lichen is a group of brightly colored lichens often seen in shades of yellow, orange, or red. They are known for thriving in open, sunny environments and can frequently be found on rocks, tree bark, and roofs. One fascinating aspect of orange lichen is their ability to tolerate pollution, which makes them common in urban areas. These lichens also play a role in monitoring air quality, as they are sensitive to changes in atmospheric conditions.
