Lecanorales

Lecanorales is a group of lichens found in many environments, from rocky soils to tree bark. Known for their crusty, leaf-like forms, they play a crucial role in ecosystems by breaking down rocks into soil and supporting various small organisms. Some lecanorales members also produce colorful pigments, which have been historically used to dye fabric. These lichens can survive in extreme conditions, such as the Arctic and deserts, showcasing their incredible adaptability.
