Description
Everyone takes lichens for granted. Although small in size, lichens represent a mutualism between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacteria. The fungus provides a water containing environment for the alga and the alga provides the fungus with food via photosynthesis. Nevertheless, these little epiphytes thrive where air quality is excellent. Many species have become rare in urban and suburban environments where air pollution has increased from human activity.
