Lichens
LICHENS are actually two organisms living together: a FUNGUS that provides 'shelter', and an ALGA that provides nutrients by using chlorophyll and sunlight. Lichens come in many different colours and shapes, such as crusts, scales, leaves, clubs, and hair. They never form leafy stems like mosses do.
Foliose lichens can be flat or leafy, having a top and bottom side
