What species of green alga might be found on lichen in Massachusetts and what type of fungus is it? possible species of fungus too.
What is the scientific name of the alga and the fungus in lichen?
There are different fungi and algae (and cyanobacteria) involved, so there's no single correct answer to y our question! This website http://herbarium.usu.edu/fungi/FunFacts/... says 13,500-18,000 species of fungi and 40 genera of algae and cyanobacteria are involved in lichen symbioses, so that makes quite a few possible combinations!
