Protists are mostly unicellular and live in colonies, but fungi are multi cellular and may be found individually.
Fungus-like protists, such as slime molds and water molds, are primarily classified under the kingdom Protista, while true fungi belong to the kingdom Fungi. Fungus-like protists often exhibit characteristics of both fungi and protozoa, such as motility in their life cycle stages, whereas fungi are non-motile and grow through hyphal networks. Additionally, fungus-like protists can reproduce both sexually and asexually, while fungi primarily reproduce through spores. Biochemically, fungi have chitin in their cell walls, whereas many fungus-like protists have cellulose or other polysaccharides.
Protists and fungi are both eukaryotic organisms, meaning they have a defined nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Additionally, both protists and fungi can be unicellular or multicellular in nature, and they obtain nutrients through absorption. Finally, both groups play vital ecological roles in various ecosystems, such as serving as decomposers or being part of important symbiotic relationships.

Slime molds are classified as fungi-like protists because they share some characteristics with both fungi and protists. They were previously classified as fungi due to their similar appearance and habitat preferences. However, genetic and molecular studies have shown that slime molds are more closely related to protists than fungi.
Protists are found in protista, plantae, animakia,and fungi.
fungi can live longer
fungi can live longer
Fungus-like protists move, that is the biggest difference. Both of them are heterotrophs, eukaryotic, and both use spores to reproduce.
Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.

Can you be a fungi?? (hahah)
Yes
i do not no
Fungi has cell walls that are composed of chitin. Protists lack cell walls entirely.Fungi are sessile. Protists can be sessile or mobile.Fungi are heterotrophic. Protists are heterotrophic, although some are autotrophic (which may suggest that the first plants derived from protists).
