AI overview
Lichens are organisms made up of fungi and algae living together, often seen as colorful crusty or leafy growths on rocks, trees, and soil. They're important because they break down rock into soil, provide food for wildlife, and serve as indicators of air quality since they're sensitive to pollution.
