Fungi are... Fungi. The four kingdoms of the Eukarya domain are: Protists, Plantae, Animalia, and Fungi. It is strange that people would even consider the fact that Fungi and Plants are in the same kingdom. For instance: Plants are photosynthesizers; they make their food off of the sunlight provided by the sun. Fungi are decomposers; they feed off of decaying plant and animal life they find. A plant's cell structure is also almost completely different than a fungus's. In addition, Plants start life in seed form, Fungi do not. When you add up all of the facts, the only characteristic of these two Eukaryotes that even suggests that they share the same kingdom is that they are both stationary. Nothing else.
What else can I help you with?
Are any type of mushrooms considered plants?
No, all of them are considered fungi
Are all fungi like athletes foot biotic?
Fungi are considered now as separated from plants and animals.
Are strawberries fungi?
No, strawberries are part of the flowering group of plants. In fact, fungi are no longer considered part of the plant kingdom.
Are plants older than fungi?
No, fungi are generally considered to be older than plants in evolutionary terms. Fungi are believed to have emerged around 1.5 billion years ago, while land plants appeared much later, approximately 470 million years ago. Both groups share a common ancestor, but fungi diverged and evolved before plants took to land.
Why fungi are not considered as non green plants?

Is the fungi kingdom a producer or consumer?
Fungi are considered decomposers in the food chain, breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the environment. They are not strictly considered producers or consumers like plants or animals.
What is one similarity between fungi and plants?
Fungi and plants are multicellular.
Why were fungi considered as plants?
On a macro level, fungi look a lot like plants. Scientists felt either that fungi were simple plants without chloroplasts, or had shed these parts to become mostly parasitic. They have cell walls, and outside of some slime molds, are not mobile. Their mycellium (the fuzzy white lines that are the 'real' fungus) are outwardly similar to a simple root system. They also 'fruited' with mushrooms of some form on most of the higher species. The DNA and proteins told a very different story! On a genetic level, animals and plants are very similar, so similar that it's now believed the ancestor of fungi should be on the same fork of the 'tree of life'.
Is fern a plant or a fungi?
Fern is a type of plant. It belongs to the group of plants known as pteridophytes, which reproduce through spores instead of seeds. Fungi, on the other hand, are a separate kingdom of organisms that are not considered plants.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & animals
Why are fungi and plants in different kingdoms?
Fungi have cell walls composed of chitin instead of cellulose (usually). Fungi also lack chloroplasts and are therefore unable to perform photosynthesis. Fungi use the AAA pathway to synthesize lysine instead of the DAP pathway used by plants. Plants have multiple flagella on their motile spores while fungi only have one. The closing evidence are molecular phylogenies, which pretty consistently group fungi with animals on the tree of life.
Are plants and fungi the same?
Plants are eukaryotic autotrophs while fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs.
