Answer:
Lichens are symbiotic associations between fungi (mycobionts, commonly Ascomycetes) and photosynthetic partners (photobionts) which can be green algae (commonly Trebouxia spp.) or diazotrophic cyanobacteria (commonly Nostoc spp.). These mycobiont-photobiont symbioses are regarded as mutualistic.

Answer:
A lichen is an organism that results from a mutualistic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism. The other organism is usually a cyanobacterium or green alga. The fungus grows around the bacterial or algal cells. The fungus benefits from the constant supply of food produced by the photosynthesizer.
