Fungi are not plants. They are decomposers which means they live off other organisms. They live by feeding off living or dead animals, plants and trees. Ferns however are much like plants. The only difference is that most of them do not have a flowering part of their structure. They photosynthesize (make there own food out of the sun, water and CO2) just like plants you would find in your garden and they DO NOT get their food from other organisms. Hope this helps!
