Slime Molds : NovaNet
slime molds
fungi is the plural of fungus(fungi=2 or more, fungus=1)
Protists are a very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). Some examples are:CiliaFlagellaPseudopodiaAmoeba proteusEuglena gracilis
Actually, they are protists that act very similarly to fungi. Their cells are very similar and they live in similar climates.
they feed off of something else
slime molds
fungi can live longer
fungi can live longer
Slime molds are very similar to the fungi, and they were thought to be fungi for a long time. However, they are not evolutionarily related to fungi. Thus, they are called fungus-like protists.

Protists are made up of very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic, and most are unicellular.
first im not good at science so get it straight im tryna find out what it is myself

plants contain cellulose in their cell wall while fungi contains chitin as a major component of its cell wall.Besides fungi are absorptive heterotrophs while plants are photosynthetic autotrophs.fungi lacks centrioles and contains chitin in its cell wall(as described earlier) but certain protists have centrioles and produce cellulose in their cell wall.some protists also contain some pigments like Chl.a Chl.b caroteins etc while fungi does not.Due to these reasons Fungi has separate kingdom.

Fungus-like protists move, that is the biggest difference. Both of them are heterotrophs, eukaryotic, and both use spores to reproduce.
