WHAT AM I?

I come in many colors including several shades of green, yellow and orange. I am a perfect example of a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship. I prefer humidity but can withstand periods of drying and am even heat tolerant.

Because I have no excretory system, I cannot eliminate waste material, and that makes me sensitive to pollution, especially sulfur dioxide. Therefore, scientists use me as a biomonitor. What am I?
