A lichen-forming fungus controls the process of association with its algae (that combine with fungi to form lichens) . This association is basically parasitic (the algae are to some extent transformed and even killed by the fungus (form a kingdom distinct from "true plants" in that they lack chlorophyll and thus must find food as animals do, accomplishing this either by living on dead organic materials or on living organisms as parasites) , which absorbs carbohydrates produced by the algae's photosynthesis), but the fungus also protects the algae from excess light, spreads their surface area, and provides a steadied supply of water without which the algae would die, so "symbiosis" is the typical, stabilized form of their association.
Lichens are found almost everywhere , these are most common in damp places such as rainforests and temperate forests, and places where there is little or no sunlight. They can commonly be found on the ground or growing on surfaces such as bark of trees but are not restricted to them.

There are Crustose Lichens, Foliose Lichens and Fruticose Lichens in the Daintree Rainforest, but I'm sure there's more. The ones I gave you are just examples.
Lichens are composed of Algea and Fungai. Algea perform Photosythesis for Lichens and Fungai give them protection.
Lichens occupy many kinds of habitats, often in extreme environments. In fact, there are three main types of lichen that exist in Antarctica. They are the crustose lichens, foliose lichens, and fruticose lichens.
Because of damp areas where they are spawned
Lichens are important to an ecosystem because they
Lichens need sunlight, water, nutrients from the air including dust and some nutrients from the substrate they grow on they are sensitive to sulfur dioxide there are fluffy lichens, crusty lichens, scaly lichens, leafy lichens etc
Lichens are flora - plants.Lichens are flora - plants.
Lichens grow extremely slowly. Lichens are able to survive extreme conditions.
what is the mode of nutrition in lichens?
No , lichens are not unicelluar at all .

Lichens are air pollution indicators.
No. Lichens are a sign of clean air.
Lichens are composed of Algea and Fungai. Algea perform Photosythesis for Lichens and Fungai give them protection.

what is the mode of nutrition in lichens?
yes. they are called lichens. yes. they are called lichens.
