- Description: Lichen - a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship. Lichens have properties different from those of their component organisms. They come in many colors, sizes, and forms and are sometimes plant-like, but lichens are not plants. They may have tiny, leafless branches (fruticose); flat leaf-like structures (foliose), crust-like, adhering tightly to a surface (substrate) like a thick coat of paint (crustose), a powder-like appearance (leprose), or other growth forms.
