Even if you never venture into the bush, you will have noticed lichens. In the city they grow encrusted on just about anything – tree bark, roof tiles, asphalt and glass. A lichen is actually a combination of at least two organisms – a fungus and a photosynthesising alga or cyanobacterium. It is a beneficial partnership that enhances the survival of both in the toughest of terrains.
