Look close and see a symbiotic organism that prefers cooperation over competition, it’s both a fungus and algae or bacteria… it’s LICHEN!

Lyrics:
I’m likin’ lichen
We’re likin’ lichen
They’re likin’ lichen
You’ll be likin’ lichen
I’m likin’ lichen
We’re likin’ lichen
They’re likin’ lichen
You’ll be likin’ lichen
Not just a algae
Not just a fungus
Some with bacteria
Composite organism is here among us
I’m likin’ lichen
We’re likin’ lichen
They’re likin’ lichen
You’ll be likin’ lichen
I’m likin’ lichen
We’re likin’ lichen
They’re likin’ lichen
You’ll be likin’ lichen
Funky shapes
If you look close
Collaborative powers
Lichen boasts
Funky shapes
If you look close
Collaborative powers
Lichen boasts
I’m likin’ lichen
We’re likin’ lichen
They’re likin’ lichen
You’ll be likin’ lichen
I’m likin’ lichen
We’re likin’ lichen
They’re likin’ lichen
You’ll be likin’ lichen
Natures not all about competition
Lichen show us a symbiotic rendition
Lichen
Lichen
Symbiotic
