Green and yellow leafy lichen (possibly *Rhizoplaca sp.*) is growing on a rough tree bark. The lichen displays a circular form with wavy edges and several small, round, orange fruiting bodies. Its surface is textured with irregular, raised patterns, showcasing its intricate structure. The bark beneath shows a coarse, dark brown texture, providing a contrasting background for the vibrant lichen. Lichens are symbiotic organisms, often comprising fungi and algae, playing essential roles in ecosystems as bioindicators.
