Physicochemical deterioration processes driven by lithobiontic microcolonial fungi (MCF) and endolithic lichens (EL) are still mostly unresolved. Here, the millimetric penetration of MCF strains within silicate and carbonate lithotypes was quantified. The influence of petrographic features in determining hyphal passageways satisfies a model of physical penetration during the early stages of colonization, already described for EL. The MCF and EL secretion of iron-chelating metabolites accounts for iron mobilization in desert-varnish formation, often putatively related to fungal colonization. Increased dissolution of limestone by the model iron chelator desferrioxamine indicates the possible involvement of these MCF and EL secretes in pitting carbonates.
