Lichen or Not
A creature that is commonly concerning land owners is this green lichen that grows on the american holy in the Wilmington area. This Lichen is actually composed of both algae and fungus. The two have a symbiotic relationship because the algae does photosynthesis that produces the food and the fungus provides water storage and protection. The interesting relation is actually between the tree and the lichen. It is considered interspecific competition between the two in which the lichen is benefiting from living on the bark of the tree. The tree has no benefit or harm from the lichen causing it to be a positive and neutral relationship.
