Best Answer

Fungi are classified as such if they display the following traits:

1. Fungi cannot make their own food. They depend on other organisms for their carbon source.

2. Fungi have membrane-bound organelles.

3. The body of the fungus takes the following forms:

  • yeast- one-celled organism that reproduce asexually, by budding or fission
  • mycelium- collective, filamentous strands that make up the fungal thallus
  • both yeast and mycelium at the same time

4. The mycelium/yeast has a cell wall.

5. Fungi absorp their nutrition (transport food from their substrate into their cell walls.)

6. Reproduction occurs via spores.
