Abstract: 10 figures. [SEM observations and interpretation of symbiotic relationships concentrating on the Peltigera-Nostoc, Peltigera-Coccomyxa, and the lecanoralean-trebouxioid associations. Author also reviews the translocation of water and photosynthates between the symbionts. "The role of haustorial and appressoria-like structure in lichens may have been underestimated ...." Comparisons are also made with mycorrhizal associations.]
