2019年10月4日 · Fungi (singular: fungus) are a kingdom of usually multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophs (cannot make their own food) and have important roles in nutrient cycling in an ecosystem. Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually, and they also have symbiotic associations with plants and bacteria.

Fungi are different from the Actinomycetes, a group of prokaryotic filamentous bacteria having peptidoglycans in their cell walls and an absence of nuclear membranes and organelles, but the two groups of microorganisms are usually considered together in texts.

Fungi, once considered plant-like organisms, are more closely related to animals than plants. Fungi are not capable of photosynthesis: they are heterotrophic because they use complex organic compounds as sources of energy and carbon. Fungi share a few other traits with animals.

Fungi are a monophyletic group of eukaryotic heterotrophs that is closely related to animals. As eukaryotes, their cells contain a nucleus, mitochondria, and a complex system of internal membrane including the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Unlike plant cells, fungal cells do not have chloroplasts or chlorophyll.
