Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Ptychospermatinae

👉 Pityrospinae, also known as the spiny lichens, are a group of fungi that produce spines on their branches and leaves. These spines can be up to 10 centimeters long and have a tough, durable outer layer made of keratinized cells. The spines provide protection from herbivores by blocking sunlight and preventing them from eating the fungus's spores.
