Interesting Algae. So this does not live in water? Was it totally dry on the rock?

This algae lived with Lichens or mosses.
I "think" that this algae is attached to mosses.
I "think" this algae and Attachment Substrate is symbiosis relationship.

I success unialgal culture in Bold's basal medium.

This algae live in water.

Hello Song Miae,

could it be an alga from the Trentepohliaceae?
