Definitely 3-three different kingdoms of living things (kingdom fungi-fungi/kingdom protista-algae/kingdom monera-cyanobacteria ). Source-http://www.lichen.com/Biology.html
There are abought 75,000 scientifically known fungi. There may be even millions more that have not been found yet.
David Hawksworth estimated that there are 1.5 million species of fungi.
13k different species.

lichen that live in a symbiotic relationship. these lichen are pioneer organisms
In my opinion, a lichen can be considered a colonial organism. It has many organisms that are specialized to perform specific functions and it is in close association between fungal and algal cells. It meets the requirements for a colonial organism.
yes lichen is a living organism it is a fungi that can grow on trees and flat surfaces such as tombstones windows pavement and many others by dae dae follow on face book!
A symbiotic relationship between a fungus and green algae or cyanobacterium is a lichen. This occurs because lichen are composite organisms that consist of a symbiotic association to a fungus with a photosynthetic partner. In this example the photosynthetic partner is the cyanobacteria.
Definitionally speaking, if something is a plant, it cannot have a fungal component since fungi are not plants. However, a lichen is often considered by laymen to be a plant (even though it is actually a symbiotic relationship of two or more organisms). A lichen is the most common example of algae and fungi working together.
Moss and lichen prepare area for other organisms.
They are composite organisms of fungus and algae
Lichen is considered to be a scavenger. They are commonly organisms that contain fungus and usually have a photosynthetic associate that they grow with.
Lichen
A lichen is not generally considered to be a parasite.A lichen is composed of two organisms in a symbiotic association. They are a fungus and a photosynthetic partner, usually either a green alga or a cyanobacterium.
Wolf lichen, British soldier lichen, or Christmas lichen. These are a few of many.

Lichen is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and algae. The algae are the autotrophic component of this partnership. Green algae and cyanobacterium are types of algae commonly found in lichen.
