i forgot one little detail: lichen are ---> fungi and moss in symbiosys ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen )
AlexKonig
it is a subspecies of the "kingdom" fungi, therefore it is right at the category fungi. slime molds are actually no longer belonging to the fungi-kingdom but will still count for me, here to them. slime mold no longer fungi but "amoebazoas" . lichen are still fungi. cheers
