British Soldier Lichen is a tiny plant that looks like a tiny red soldier's hat. It grows on rocks and tree bark in forests and mountain regions.
Hábitat: Forests, Mountain regions
The British Soldier Lichen has distinctive grey-green, goblet-shaped stalks, often forming dense patches. Each stalk is topped with a vibrant, scarlet-red fruiting body, resembling tiny, bright red caps on miniature pillars. This striking contrast makes it easy to spot against duller backgrounds.
