The algae increase the autotrophy by offering photosynthesis to the fungi in the lichen organism.

A lichen is an organism consisting of a symbiotic association between a fungus (the mycobiont) and algae. The mushroom brings water and mineral salts. The alga produces, by photosynthesis, various organic compounds of which it gives a part to the mushroom.

A lichen results from a relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism, which is based on mutualism. Algae is one of the photosynthetic organisms, and it can provide a constant supply of food to the fungus. The fungi provide a sheltered place for the algae to grow and reproduce.

The phenomenon may take place between the individuals of a similar species or between the individuals of distinct species. The main objective of mimicry is to safeguard the species from predators, resulting in an antipredator adaptation.  

The evolution of mimicry takes place when the predator witnesses a similarity between the model and the mimic and as a consequence modifies its behavior in a manner, which offers a selective benefit to the mimic.
