Teloschistales

Teloschistales are colorful lichens often found growing on rocks, bark, and even man-made surfaces such as walls and rooftops. Known for their vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and red, they contain special pigments that protect them from intense sunlight. This group is highly diverse, inhabiting a wide range of environmental conditions from deserts to polar regions. They play a crucial role in ecosystems by contributing to soil formation and providing habitats for small organisms.
