Sukanya, I just meant regular old algae ;) I just said "unlichenized algae" because many lichens are the fungi and the algae living as a composite organism. When you find a lichen, the algal partner is considered lichenized.
No Machi.I do not know what unlichenized alga is...
Are you sure this is lichen? It is hard to see, but it kind of looks like unlichenized algae.
