There are over 200,000 species of fungus, including moulds, mushrooms, yeasts and lichens. They have different chromosome numbers, the number may even vary with the same species as well as the type of reproduction they are under going (vegetative or sexual)
The DNA of fungi is composed of deoxyribonucleic acid organized into linear chromosomes, similar to that of animals and plants, but often features unique characteristics such as the presence of introns and a complex structure of repetitive sequences. Fungal DNA is typically housed within a defined nucleus, and many fungi exhibit a haploid phase in their life cycle, meaning they contain a single set of chromosomes. Additionally, fungi can possess mitochondrial DNA that is distinct from their nuclear DNA, reflecting their evolutionary relationships. Overall, the genetic material of fungi is integral to their diverse metabolic pathways, reproduction, and adaptability.
Eukaryotic cells, which make up plants, animals, and fungi, have chromosomes within their nucleus that contain genetic information in the form of DNA. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a true nucleus or chromosomes.
46 chromosomes
23 chromosomes
They have 19 Chromosomes
Chromosomes of fungi are made of DNA, which is organized into linear structures within the nucleus of the fungal cells. Each chromosome contains multiple genes that encode for various traits and functions necessary for the fungi's growth, development, and reproduction.
A capsule is typically diploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. This is common in many plants and some fungi.

No - most fungi have both a diploid and haploid stage in their lifecycle. Some fungi undergo asexual reproduction (which only involves one parent organism) and others undergo sexual reproduction.
The Kingdom Fungi are haploid species. Haploid means it has a single set of unpaired chromosomes Most fungi, many algae, and some protozoa are haploid except zygote stage.
Eukaryotic cells, which make up plants, animals, and fungi, have chromosomes within their nucleus that contain genetic information in the form of DNA. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a true nucleus or chromosomes.
Fungi is a kingdom.so there are so many species
32 chromosomes
46 chromosomes
This have 44 chromosomes
69 chromosomes
Of course,there are multicellular fungi.
