Lichens

Lichens

"Logically regarded as a another class of fungi, the lichens are mostly Ascomycetes that have obligate symbiotic relationships with unicellular algae which multiply within their densely packed hyphae. A very few lichens appear to involve Basidiomycetes. About 17,000 described species."
