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.

Yup. Basically a fungal algae sandwich. The fungus provides protection and absorbs nutrients while the algae performs photosynthesis to feed the fungus. Neat stuff
