Species in lichen-forming fungi: balancing between conceptual and practical considerations, and between phenotype and phylogenomics
Lichens are symbiotic associations resulting from interactions among fungi (primary and
secondary mycobionts), algae and/or cyanobacteria (primary and secondary photobionts) …
