A Lichen That Grows as a Crust
Crustose lichens have no lower cortex: the underside of the thallus grows straight into the bark or into fine cracks in the stone. They spread slowly outward from the edge and often form flat patches or rings of colour. The body is a fungus that houses a photosynthetic partner, a green alga or a cyanobacterium. On bare rock, acids released by the lichen and the grip of its thallus slowly break down the surface, so crustose lichens are taught as pioneers that begin soil formation in succession on rock.
