Lichen belongs to Kingdom Fungi.

moss is from the bryophytes, aka the plantae

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't lichen the term for an organism formed between both a fungus and photosynthetic organism (either green algae or cyanobacteria) and thus could theoretically encompass three kingdoms....Fungi, Monera (cyanobacteria) and Plantae (green algae). Although I believe only two would be present in any one lichen.
