“an unholy alliance between
an alga and a fungus”
“they are two different
organisms living in sin”
“The alga does the
chlorophyll stuff…”
“…while the fungi has penetrating root-like features
referred to as 'hyphae' that are able to force their
way into the substrate, enabling enhanced levels of
mineral extraction along with a superb holdfast.”
“Which is all well and good for the botanists
out there, but it doesn't half make them
bloody hard to shift when they're disfiguring
your paving with all their symbiotic goings-on.”
