A lichen is a composite organism consisting of a fungus (the mycobiont) and a photosynthetic partner (the photobiont or phycobiont) growing together in a symbiotic relationship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen
Nice picture, Seema. it is a lichen. You should change its classification to Fungi. Although lichens are something else than fungi (Fungus + algae) they are scientifically classify according to their fungic part. Consider adding this spotting to the "Lichens" mission. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8624...
