no fungi grows on you and alge grows in the water
Actually, I disagree with the above answer, so I'm improving. They do have similarities. Both fungi and algae prefer to live in moist environments. Both can range in size from a single-celled organism to much larger, multi-celled organisms. Both have haploid nuclei (only one chromosome instead of two).
cell wall of algae is made up of cellulose while cell wall of fungi is made up of chitin.
algae contains chloroplast while fungi do not contain chloroplast
algae is green in color and fungi is colorless.
algae is aututrophic and fungi is heterotrophic
Things that algae and fungi have in common are that both are found in moist or water environments, and they have a haploid nucleus. Likewise, both fungi and algae have a large variety of species and subspecies that are found throughout the world and nature.
Algae are autotrophic whereas fungi are hetrotrophic
No
Animal-Like Plant-like fungus-like
yes
fungi and algae can grow together and produce substabnce called lichen, on the surface of the rocks. fungus provide algae with protection, whereas algae provide fungus with nutrients.
Yup. Basically a fungal algae sandwich. The fungus provides protection and absorbs nutrients while the algae performs photosynthesis to feed the fungus. Neat stuff

Lichen is a symbiosis between an algae and a fungus.
no
The three main types of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime molds (fungus-like protists). Each type of protist has unique characteristics and plays a different ecological role in various environments.
3 types of fungus-like protist are Slime molds, Water molds, and Downy Mildews.Read more: What_are_three_types_of_funguslike_protists
Fungus
yes
Lichens are composed of a fungus in symbiotic union with an alga and having a greenish, gray, yellow, brown, or blackish thallus that grows in leaf like, crust like, or branching forms on rocks, trees, etc.
