I put amoebozoae (which slime molds are counted to) into "others" because they belong not into fungi. Same as for lichens - they are no fungi (even if fungi are part of the symbiotic components). This specific one: I put it into "others" because I didn't know what it is ;) simple.

why do you put everything into "others", (ok , over the slime mold will i not start again) i have seen lichen (even i germany they are subclassed under ascomycota - fungi [ http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landkartenflechte ]) and mold categorized as "others". Mold is definitly fungi !! ???, This one above is an "ascomycete". !! ( http://www.messiah.edu/Oakes/fungi_on_wood/crust%20and%20parchment/species%20pages/Diatrype%20stigma.htm )
