Are humans related to fungi?

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.)

Why is it difficult to develop a chemical that kills fungi but does not harm humans?

It is difficult to develop a chemical that kills fungi but not harm humans because fungi and humans are both eukaryotic organisms, making it challenging to find targets unique to fungi. Additionally, the similarities in cellular structures and processes between fungi and humans also make it hard to find chemicals that selectively target fungal cells over human cells. Furthermore, the potential for off-target effects and toxicity in humans adds complexity to developing such a selective chemical.
