How are fungus and lichen different from each other?

Both lichen and mycorrhizae are symbiotic partnerships between two different living things. Lichens are partnerships between fungi and different types of algae. The fungi partner supplies the water and nutrients and the algal partner produces sugar, oxygen and can fix nitrogen. The photosynthetic partner algae may be a bacteria such as cyanobacteria or blue green algae, or a plant such as green algae. They are usually classed as members of the fungi kingdom. Mycorrhizae are the fungus root partnership that develops in almost all plants both vascular and non vascular. It refers to the mycorrhizal fungus and the plant root once they have linked. There are about 5 or 6 thousand known types of mycorrhizal fungi which form fungus root or mycorrhizae with 95% of all plants. Some mycorrhizal fungi include ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes) and Phycobionts (Chlorophyceae ond myxophyceae).

What consists of the mutualistic relationship of a fungus or either algae or autotrophic bacteria?

LichensA lichen (LIE kuhn) is a combination of a fungus and an alga that grow together. The alga actually lives inside the protective walls of the fungus. The resulting organism is different from either organism growing alone. The lichen is a result of a mutualistic relationship. But the merging of the two organisms to form a lichen is so complete that scientists give lichens their own scientific names.Shortened answer: Lichen


Does only one organism benefits from a lichen?

No. The alga and the fungus that make up a particular lichen exist in a true symbiotic relationship where neither can exist without the other. Generally, the fungi absorb water that passes on to the algae to be used in photosynthesis to create a carbohydrate food for both. So both organisms benefit from the relationship.
