Mycorrhiza is the symbiotic association of fungus with roots of a higher plants like gymnosperms and angiosperms.
The fungus is dependent on plants for food and shelter, while the plants are benefitted by the fungal hyphae as they are involved in absorption of water and dissolved minerals present in the soil debris and makes it available to the plants.
Whereas lichens are the symbiotic association between algae and fungi. Ferns are group of plants, belong to pteridophytes like other vascular plants and BGA is blue-green algae with a prokaryotic cell.

When the sperms of Funaria and Pteris are put together near the archegonia of Pteris, only the sperms of Pteris readily enter the archegonia and reach the egg. The reason being that
  1. Sperms of Funaria are killed when mixed with sperms of Pteris
  2. Archegonia of Pteris secrete a substance with repels sperms of Funaria
  3. Archegonia of Pteris secrete a chemical substance which attracts sperms of Pteris chemotactically
  4. Sperms of Funaria are less motile
