Lichen is an example of Mutualism because it consists of a fungus and an alga growing together. the fungus provides support in which the alga can grow. The alga makes food by photosynthesis using the water that the fungus has stored. The fungus also takes in minerals to be converted into materials for growth. together the two organisms form a structure that can live on the surfaces of rocks in harsh conditions where other organisms cannot survive.
