Lichens

Brightly colored splotches found on the gneiss are a primitive form of plant life called lichens. Lichens are a mutually beneficial composite of fungi and algae. The various colors indicate different species. Some species form a weak carbonic acid, the primary agent in the chemical breakdown of rock into soil.
