A lichen is made up of fungus and green alga or cynobacteria
An example of a lichen is the reindeer lichen found in arctic and subarctic regions. This lichen forms a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga, growing on rocks, soil, or tree branches. Reindeer lichen is an important food source for animals like reindeer and caribou.
The associated algae in a lichen provide food through photosynthesis, which is essential for the lichen's survival.
The scientific name for fruticose lichen is Cladonia.
A lichen thallus is the main body of a lichen, which consists of an algal or cyanobacterial partner (photobiont) living in a symbiotic relationship with a fungal partner (mycobiont). The thallus is the part of the lichen responsible for photosynthesis and nutrient absorption.
An algae and a fungus can form a symbiotic relationship into what is known as lichen. However, not all lichen contain a type of algae, a type of cyanobacteria and a fungus makes a lichen as well. Algae and Fungus (a.k.a.Lichen) associations may be considered as examples of mutualism, commensalism or even parasitism, depending on the species.

A lichen is eukaryotic.
There is a lot of lichen growing on the trees.
They survive on presence of pollutants, more the pollutant more the lichen and vice versa.
No lichen is not a producer because it is a decomposer?
Bai Lichen was born in 1941.
Trouble with Lichen was created in 1960.
Lichen is the base in the chain of succession. It starts at lichen, the moves on to moss, then to small plants, and so on.

also known as a symbyotic relationship (where at least on organism in the partnership benefits) it means that the alge gains, say, anchorage, from the fungus, and the fungus gains food or shelter from the alge. they live together as a lichen or moss, and wouldn't survive without oneanother
