Do lichens grow in water in a desert or in a tundra?
Lichens are a symbiotic (mutualistic) relationship between fungi and a green algae or cyanobacteria. Most often, you'll see them on trees, rocks, fences, etc. There are some great pictures from National Geographic where lichens are growing on granite tombstones. They are unique in that their symbiotic relationship allows them to grow in some extreme environments with little surrounding nutrient sources such as a tundra.

What is a association between a fungus and a cyanobacteria or green algae is a?
A symbiotic relationship between a fungus and green algae or cyanobacterium is a lichen. This occurs because lichen are composite organisms that consist of a symbiotic association to a fungus with a photosynthetic partner. In this example the photosynthetic partner is the cyanobacteria.
What kingdom does likens fall into?
As lichens are a not a single living organism, but are rather a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an algae (ie. a relationship where one is needed for the other to survive, and vice-versa), they cannot be classified into one kingdom.
