There are thousands of different varieties of moss and lichen, but the one that does the most damage to roofing is Ascomycetes Foliose. As part of its life cycle it burrows into the roofing material. On metal roofing this can cause the paint to blister promoting corrosion. The root system can also cause concrete and clay tiles to crack. With moss on the roof the surface is never allowed to dry out. Therefore the roof surface deteriorates faster.
