As in many areas of knowledge, improvements are taking place. And new tools of DNA mapping are changing the face of cladistics.

Fungi whilst not being animals, seem to be like plants, but with a couple of exceptions. They use chitin rather than cellulose, and derive their total inputs from the decay of existing living things.

[But the orchids start out by robbing a fungi as an initial food supply, and the Gastropodia orchids do this for their life!]

There are about 100 000 identified species of fungi, and there may be up to 1.5 million of them. Fungi are today considered a separate kingdom from Plantae, though commonly they are considered as a plant.

Excluding the fungi, there may be around 350 000 identified species of Seed Plants; Bryophytes (many of which do not have seeds) and mosses; and ferns and their allies. Included in that total are about 8000 species of algae. Algae come in three colours, green, red, and brown, and it is considered the chlorophyl plants developed from the green algae.
