Ramalina thrausta (Ach.)
Fruticose lichens are small, colorful organisms that grow on rocks and trees. They come in many shapes and sizes, adding beauty to the natural world.
生息地: Forests
The Fruticose Lichen has a distinctive shrub-like or bushy appearance, growing upright or hanging like tiny miniature trees. Its branches can be grey-green, yellow, or even reddish-brown, often forming intricate, tangled clumps that make it visually different from flat, crusty lichens.
