Because each lichen has a symbiotic association of an alga with a fungus, hence it is difficult to classify them. Depending on their gross morpholoy we can classify these as crustose, foliose and fruticose only.

Why are linchens hard to classify?

Lichens are hard to classify because they are complex symbiotic organisms composed of a fungus and one or more photosynthetic partners, typically algae or cyanobacteria. This intricate relationship can vary significantly among different lichen types, leading to challenges in identifying and categorizing them based on traditional taxonomic methods. Additionally, their morphological diversity and ability to adapt to various environments further complicate classification efforts. Thus, molecular techniques are increasingly used to clarify their taxonomy and evolutionary relationships.
