Fungi are a group of spore-producing organisms that feed on organic matter. The vast majority of fungi contain extracellular digestions, chitin, mycelia, hyphae, cells and rhizoid hyphae
Fungi can be further classified based on a number of characteristics. These include the size and shape of spores or fruiting structures, biochemical and physiological traits, and reproductive structures.
Algae and fungi posses characteristics that make them unique among all the organisms. Algae are different from plants because they perform cell division in a very different way, their reproductive structures are completely nude, while in plants the reproductive structures are covered with a sterile layer of cells. Fungi lack photosynthetic machinery, which differences them from algae, plants and some bacteria. So, fungi and algae posses a wide range of characteristics that are enough to separate them from other kingdoms and have their own.
8 phyla Dikaryomycota Glomeromycota Zygomycota Blastocladiomycota Chytridiomycota Cryptomycota Neocallixmastigomycota Monoblephariomycota
The reproductive structures of fungi form high above the source of food. Fungi is a group of eukaryotic organisms that includes mushrooms, molds, and yeasts.
Club fungi are named after their reproductive structures, which are typically club-shaped. These structures, called basidiocarps, produce and release spores for reproduction. The distinctive club shape of these structures gave rise to the common name "club fungi."

Cell walls are a characteristic shared by bacteria, fungi, and plants. These structures provide support and protection for the cells.

These are the current phyla (divisions) within the kingdom Fungi: Dikaryomycota Zygomycota Chytridiomycota Monblepharidomycota Blastocladiomycota Neocallistigmycota Cryptomycota

Fungi are currently placed into different phyla based on their from of sexual reproduction. Currently seven different phyla have been proposed including: * Chytridiomycota * Blastocladiomycota * Neocallimastiogomycota * Zygomycota * Glomeromcota * Ascomycota * Basidiomycota Reproduction modes and structures
The outstanding characteristics of the kingdom Fungi are their ability to absorb nutrients from their surroundings, their cell walls made of chitin, and their reproductive structures called spores. Fungi play crucial roles in decomposition and nutrient recycling, and they have a wide range of forms, including mushrooms, yeasts, and molds. They can be found in diverse habitats, from soil to water to the human body.
Club fungi are named for their club-shaped reproductive structures called basidia. These basidia contain spores that are dispersed to reproduce. The distinctive shape of these structures is what gives club fungi their name.
