Illustration of a foliose macrolichen from the genus Peltigera showing lobed, blue-gray thalli with red apothecia, growing at ground level among short vegetation. In biological hierarchy, the thallus (a tissue-level structure) belongs to a composite organism formed by a mycobiont (ascomycete fungus) and a cyanobacterial photobiont, commonly Nostoc. In botany, mycology, and lichenology, Peltigera spp. (dog lichens) contribute to N2 (dinitrogen) fixation and primary production. This symbiotic organism inhabits terrestrial substrata in the ground layer.
