Some lichens are symbiotic relationships between fungi and green algae. + Lichen, Their life habit, Reproduction: Fungi :: Botany :: Bacteria :: Algae :: Extremophiles * They make small groups of algal cells surrounded by fungal filaments. These 'soridia' can be blown by wind. Some lichens just break up into fragments when they dry. Wind carries the pieces, which grow when moisture returns. Also, lichen fungi can reproduce sexually by forming fruiting bodies containing spores * Lichen are the main winter food for reindeer. In summer they have much more choice of food. Some lichen are eaten by humans. A kind of lichen, which is called 'Iwatake' in Japanese and 'Seogi' in Korean language, is collected from cliffs, and used in various Korean and Japanese foods. Lichen have a high level of acid. Care must be taken, as there are at least two kinds of lichen that are toxic + Tundra: Geography :: Biomes * Most water on the tundra is frozen within the soil. The permanent frozen soil is called permafrost. Permafrost and fierce winds prevent large trees from growing deep roots. Plants in the tundra are small and grow close to the ground. Plants called cushions grow in tight clumps in the tundra, but lichens are the dominant plants. Lichens cover the rocks. The few trees that do grow on the tundra are dwarf willows and birch.	{ "source": "generics_kb" }

It is chronic, which means it does not go away. The immune system is made up of white blood cells in your body that fight off disease. Lupus makes these white blood cells think that the healthy cells of the body around them are diseased, so they end up attacking healthy parts of the body. Lupus can be deadly. Lupus causes swelling and tissue damage, and can attack any part of the body. There is treatment for lupus, called immunosuppression, which is medicine that stops the white blood cells from damaging healthy cells for a while. After a while, this medicine wears off, and then the white blood cells go back to hurting healthy parts of the body again. For the disease of lupus, there is no cure that stops the white blood cells from attacking healthy parts of the body forever, but doctors are not giving up on finding a cure. ### condition \| illness \| disease \| lupus: Discoid lupus * benign, distinctive disc-shaped skin eruption. * characteristic rash without significant problems. * disease of the skin, which is often chronic and leads to scarring. * is neither cancerous nor contagious. * limited disease with superficial skin involvement only.
