Pelt lichens are fascinating organisms that look like little green or grey patches on rocks and trees! They help nature by breaking down rocks and providing food for tiny creatures.
Hábitat: Pelt lichens thrive in damp, shaded areas, often found on rocks, trees, and soil.
The Pelt Lichens has large, leafy, often wavy lobes that can be greenish-gray to brown when wet. Its underside is typically pale with distinct, root-like structures called rhizines. It often grows flat or slightly ruffled, resembling a patch on the ground.
