Why did the fungi with algae go on a date?.......
Because they took a lichen to each other!

@EatTheWeeds I've no photo atm, it looks like a black gunk of small decomposed particles. Upon lifting the magnet from the water some fall away in a cloud which rapidly sink. There are no overhanging trees, but I guess it' is a lichin. I'll post a video when I get some time and get a close up of the stuff.

When I saw the lichen there and you mentioned how old it could be it made me think of it as a terrestrial form of coral. "Land coral." :-)

@EatTheWeeds, I have a bucket of rainwater collected from my house roof, I accidentally dropped a new penny into it and retrieved it with a neodymium magnet. Along with the penny, I found the magnet also picked up lichen washed from the roof. Can you shed anylight on why this is? I can't find any info on the internet.
Thanks,
Locouk.

@locouk Lichen grow on nearly anything that's been around for a while. It also could have fallen on the roof from a tree. Got a picture?

I have come across a lot of trees out in the country full of old mans beard lichen and since you have the thing about DDT and such I am worried to collect them. How far away from a farm would you say would be safe to collect?

@FloweringFamily Dust can travel. DDT also degrades with time. GIve yourself a mile or so.
