Best Answer

Fungi are different from humans in several basic ways. First, fungi do not ingest their food as humans do; rather, they grow into their food. Humans ingest food, secrete enzymes to degrade it, and absorb the released nutrients and simpler compounds. Fungal hyphae grow into a potential food source, release enzymes, and then absorb the relaeased nutrients. Also, fungal cells have a wall of chitin while human cells lack a wall of any sort. Humans are unable to synthesize lysine, but fungi are capable of doing so. Humans are cabable of movement, while most fungi are not. (Chytrids are capable of moving via a motile spore.)
