They are of their own kingdom; Fungi.
They generally are decomposers, not photosynthesizers.
Some "fungi" are difficult to classify and have been classified as fungi because they have more similarities with fungi than actual plants or other life-forms.
It is a life-form that is widely researched and some specimens tickle many a scientist brain as to where they actually belong.
This middle paragraph seems to confuse Fungi with Protista. " Scientists brains are not tickled " as to where Fungi belong as they are all Eumycota. The only dispute over classification is within the group Fungi as molecular genetics has challenged some taxonomy that classified Fungi physically. Fungi are not plants, animals or protists.

What are the 6 organism kingdoms?
Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Fungi, Animalia, Plantae, and Protista
Are there other organisms besides plants and animals?
Yes, there are other organisms besides plants and animals. This category includes fungi, protists, bacteria, and archaea. These organisms play important roles in ecosystems and can have diverse forms and functions.
Is a fungi considered a plant or an animal?
There are three domains of life, Prokarya, Eukarya and Archaea. Plants, animals and fungi all fall under Eukarya (Cells with nuclear envelopes and membranes). Bacteria are prokaryotic, and do not have a nucleus or nuclear membrane. Fungi are more closely related to animals than they are to plants (despite physical appearances). Fungi and Animals both evolved from a choanoflagellate ancestor (a protist), while plants evolved from another eukaryotic protist lineage (the green algae lineage). Fungi are neither plants, nor animals, but they are more closely related to animals than plants. They form their own kingdom, under the domain Eukarya.
What are the four main groups of eukaryotes?
The four main groups of eukaryotes are plants, animals, fungi, and protists. These groups encompass a wide variety of organisms with different characteristics and modes of life.
What do fungi have common with plants?
Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants. They do share some similarity to plants, though. For example, plants and fungi are both able to synthesize the amino acid lysine (animals are not); however, fungi use the AAA pathway, and plants use the DAP pathway. Plants and fungi have cells walls. Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, while fungal cell walls are made of chitin.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?

The five kingdoms of life?

Is fungi an insect?
No. Fungi are their own kingdom of organisms separate from plants and animals. Insects are animals.
Plants and fungi that thrive on dead tissues of plants and animals?
The Eumycota are fungi that thrive on the dead tissues of plants and animals. They get their nutrients from decomposed matter and store them as energy.

They get their food from animals and plants
What is the example of multicellular?

Are mushroom are plants or animals?
Neither. They are fungi.
Are supergroups plants animals or fungi?
Supergroups are a level above kingdom in terms of taxonomic classification. Plants, animals and fungi are all kingdoms in taxonomy.
