Symbiosis and Art

Symbiosis

Fungi and alga,

a lichen:

fungi need food

and alga provide

through photosynthesis 

on top of the partnership;

though often found with moss,

which retains water,

lichens are not plants,

but benefit from 

the moss moisture;

alga feeds fungi,

fungi gives structure

and growth;

each helps the other:

symbiosis
