3produced. Soredia contain algae and fungal cells that escape from the parent lichen and grow into a new lichen thallus. Other lichens produce outgrowths that break off and grow into the same lichen they came from. These are called isidia (tiny, cylindrical projections, Fig. 4) or lobules (little flaps of tissue, Fig.oredia contain algae and fungal cells that escape from the parent lichen and grow into a new lichen thallus.

In laboratory settings, algae grow faster when they are alone rather than when they are part of a lichen. But there is also a mutualism side to the relationship, the fungus part of the lichen provides the alga with water and minerals that the fungus absorbs from whatever the lichen is growing on.he lichen fungus is typically a member of the Ascomycotaârarely a member of the Basidiomycota. Some lichen taxonomists place lichens in their own division, the Mycophycophyta, but this practice ignores the fact that the components belong to separate lineages.
