Plant (re)naming

I belong to the North American Truffling Society - which is probably the
most braggable organization I belong to, as I feel pretty special for
having once found a genuine truffle growing near my front door!  And in
their latest newsletter, I found an interesting article about new ideas
about the classification of plants.  Some botanists now think that there
are four plant groups, with animals being the fifth classification of
life on earth.  The article says that one of the groups, fungi, seems to
be more related to animals than to plants!  Naturally, I found this
intriguing, and went to a webpage about this project:

I read some of this, but I cant say I found that explanation about the
fungi yet.  There are many papers to read on the subject.  But it does
seem probable that there will be much more re-classification of plants
in the near future, so be prepared!
