I had to find some moss or fungi around where I live for a class I'm taking and I came across this gem!#FungusAlgae
Looks like it would be a tree disease, doesn't it?!
It's actually called, Lichens. And it removes toxins and pollution from the air and doesn't harm to tree at all.
" Lichens on trees are a unique organism because they are actually a symbiotic relationship between two organisms — fungus and algae. The fungus grows on the tree and can collect moisture, which the algae needs. The algae, in return, can create food from the energy of the sun, which feeds the fungus. "
