What are Lichen Colonies?

Roof Real Clean

Lichens colonies area type of fungus that grows with algae on roof shingles, forming a composite organism with crust-like growth. Lichens can penetrate deep into shingles and feed off of their organic oil base for nourishment. If the problem is not addressed, eventually lichen colonies will break down the organic components of your shingles and create dark spots or pock marks where they are  feeding.
