thalli

Lichens are extreme examples [104]: the moist thalli of such species as Xanthoria candelaria and Rhizoplaca melanophthalma fully tolerated gradual or rapid freezing to -196 °C, and even after being stored for up to several years, almost immediately resumed normal photosynthetic rates when warmed and wetted.

Pigmentation may be constitutive for particular species or appear as a plastic response to irradiance, for example, originally colorless Cladonia and Cladina lichens quickly develop dark-pigmented thalli after exposure to higher levels of solar radiation [122].

As usual in crustose forms, the thalli are composed of hyphae which are densely disposed toward the upper, exposed surface and more loosely disposed toward the lower surface (Fig. 2).
