Lichens are a complex life form that is a symbiotic partnership of two separate organisms, a fungus and an alga. The dominant partner is the fungus, which gives the lichen the majority of its characteristics, from its thallus shape to its fruiting bodies. ... Many lichens will have both types of algae.

A lichen is not a single organism, but the result of a partnership (symbiosis) between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacteria.
lichen is not a separate organism in the sense of being one type of individual. It is actually a close partnership between a fungi and algae.The two types of organisms in the partnership are so closely interwoven that they appear as a single individual.
