Symbiosis in lichens is the mutually helpful symbiotic relationship of green algae and/or blue-green algae living among filaments of a fungus, forming lichen.

Living as a symbiont in a lichen appears to be a successful way for a fungus to derive essential nutrients, as about 20% of all fungal species have acquired this mode of life.
