Plants are autotrophs (they make their own food through chemosynthesis or photosynthesis), while fungi are heterotrophs (more specifically they are either parasites or saprobes). Other differences are also present in structure (for example, fungi cell walls are made of chitin while plants' cell walls are made of cellulose), specialization, etc.

How do fungi differ from plants?

Fungi lack chloroplasts, which means they are unable to undergo photosynthesis as plants are. This means that while plants are typically autotrophs (producers), fungi are heterotrophs (consumers). Fungi have a cell wall of chitin instead of the cellulose that plants make. Fungi store energy as glycogen; plants store energy as starch. Fungi have a single, posteriorly oriented flagellum while plants have multiple flagella that are anteriorly oriented.
