The wikipedia is a wiki. Do you understand what that means? It can be edited by anyone and as a result cannot be entirely relied upon. I'll have a search for the Princeton link. I'm pretty certain it was in the top ten hits on my google search.

I think you meant "you're".
I gave that link as an example that you could check. The same information is in the specialist books that I have at home. And at university botanists are taught that Fungi are in a separate kingdom.
In any case I checked your link and it too agrees that they are in a separate kingdom. I'm not familiar with the term Lower Plants.
As an aside, an organisation recently did a check on wikipedia and the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and found then to be on a par, though neither was free of errors. I find it to be surprisingly accurate on areas about which I am knowledgeable. It seems to be written by people with expert knowledge.
