Lichen is an association between an alga and a fungus, in which the two organisms jointly form a thallus that is distinct from either partner. The fungal partner is known as mycobiont and the algal partner as the phycobiont. Both the partners are benefitted by the association. Such an association is known as symbiosis or mutualism. Lichens can withstand extremes of climate and, thus, are found everywhere ranging from hot deserts to chilly mountains. They can colonize rocks, but are also found growing on fertile soils. The tree trunks on hills are the most common sites of lichen growth. In some places, the growth is so luxuriant that lichens are used as fodder for cattle. But, lichens are most sensitive to air pollution and probably that is the reason they are not found near cities.
