The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS or "Mormon" church) does not really have 'fundamentalist' members. Of course some are more devout in their religious practice than others, but all are expected to believe the published doctrines of the Church. (You can learn about these doctrines at the "Related Links" below.)
You may be thinking of members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also called the FLDS church). This group broke off from the LDS or Mormon church over 100 years ago in a dispute over the practice of polygamy. The FLDS today differs quite a lot from the LDS church. The FLDS continue to practice polygamy, have very strict modest dressing standards, generally live in isolated communities, and are expected to have firm devotion to their prophet. In general, although both churches share the same scripture and early history, the FLDS is much more extreme in their doctrine and practice than the mostly mainstream LDS church.
