Downy mildews and water molds are similar to fungi in that they both resemble fungi. They can also cause diseases similar to fungi.

Examples of fungus-like protists include slime molds, water molds, and downy mildews. These protists exhibit characteristics resembling both fungi and protists, such as forming spores for reproduction and possessing cell walls.

they both stink
Phylum Oomycota contains water molds and downy mildews, which are parasitic organisms that mainly feed on plants and decaying organic matter. They can cause diseases in plants by infecting the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits.
Downy mildews are multicellular organisms. They belong to the group of water molds and are classified as oomycetes, which are fungal-like protists. These organisms typically form filamentous structures called hyphae, allowing them to grow and spread in their environments, particularly on plants.
I assume you meant "decomposers" such molds, mildews, fungi and bacteria. Yes, they are.
No bacteria make up mold and mildew. Molds and mildews are fungi which prefer to grow in damp environs. Some bacteria are synergistic with molds and mildews, but they are not the same organism.
Fungus-like protists include slime molds, water molds, and downy mildews. They are eukaryotic organisms that can exhibit both fungal-like and protozoan-like characteristics. Slime molds are known for their amoeboid movement and ability to form multicellular structures, while water molds and downy mildews are often plant pathogens that form filamentous structures for nutrient absorption.
