Shield lichens look like tiny shields on trees and rocks! They come in many colors and help clean the air by absorbing pollutants.
生息地: Shield lichens can be found on tree bark, rocks, and soil in forests and urban areas.
The Shield Lichens have flat, leaf-like lobes, often forming circular patches that cling to bark or rocks. Their color varies from pale grey-green to olive or brownish, with a darker, sometimes velvety underside. They can be visually distinguished by their broad, rounded lobes compared to stringy or crusty lichens.
