The hosts started the game well and created the first opportunity when Robbie McKenzie sent in a cross from the left, but Palmer Houlden's header was comfortably gathered by Lynch.
The keeper was alert again after 20 minutes to block Euan Williams' shot following Remeao Hutton's low delivery into the six-yard box.
At the other end Jake Turner made a stunning stop to deny Esapa Osong from point-blank range.
Fleetwood started the second half the brighter and forced Turner to backpedal when a corner looked to be looping in.
However, Gareth Ainsworth's men responded to this early pressure and Palmer-Houlden did well to chase Max Clark's ball over the top before beating Lynch low to his right-hand side via a deflection.
The visitors applied heavy pressure and secured a deserved point in added time with Rooney heading home a Mark Helm cross.
