Slime moulds and lichens strictly
Slime moulds generally are not considered to be part of the Kingdom Fungi but more aligned with Protozoa, partly because they have an amoeboid phase. Lichens are associations between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Usually the partners comprising a lichen are unable to live apart. Leaf-like forms of lichens may be mistaken for larger fungi. Lichens and slime moulds are not considered further in FungiBank.
