Early fungi were actually aquatic. They evolved from early animals, actually. Fungi are very closely related to animals. Much closer than plants or even protists. Other information: fungi can produce asexually or sexually, they can only absorb nutrients, and they are in no way a plant. Hope it helped!

No. Plants, animal, and fungi all evolved from either plant-like, animal-like, or fungus-like protists respectively and during about the same time period. Fungi are genetically more closely related to animals than plants.
