An amoeba is a shapeless cell which can extrude a part of itself, which is called a pseudopod (literally, false foot) and then the remainder of the cell can flow into that pseudopod, at which point the amoeba has moved.

What kinds of fungus can move?

Certain kinds of slime molds, which are commonly regarded as fungi, can move. Slime molds come in different types, one of which is called "cellular." The cellular slime mold starts as an amoeba-like or yeast-like cell that divides into multiple, individual cells. The amoeba-like cells move on their own. Eventually, slime mold cells combine into a single body, and such a body sometimes looks and acts much like a common slug. In this form it moves about in quest of a place to go to the next stage in its life. The next step is for the combined body to differentiate into a stem and a fruiting body, and at this stage it may appear to be very like a mold.
