parmeliaceae
Shield lichens are fascinating organisms that help break down rocks and create soil. They come in many colors and can often be found growing on tree bark and rocks in forests.
Hábitat: Forests, rocky areas, and on tree bark.
The Shield Lichens And Allies are typically flattened, broad, and leaf-like, adhering tightly to surfaces. They often appear grey-green, brown, or black, sometimes with distinct lobe-like structures at their edges, distinguishing them from crusty lichens.

They don't have roots; they absorb all their water and food directly from the air!
Shield Lichens can dry completely and 'come back to life' later, surviving harsh, dry conditions.
They absorb everything from the air, making them natural indicators of pollution levels.
These lichens can slowly break down rocks, helping to create new soil over centuries.
Shield Lichens are actually two organisms, a fungus and an alga, working together for survival.
