Fungi are not plants.

Bacteria are neither animals nor plants.

Bacteria (jùn) are a huge family and they are everywhere. Currently, there are approximately 100,000 known species of fungi. Fungi have a simple structure, without roots, stems, leaves and other organs. They generally do not have chlorophyll and other pigments, and most of them live heterotrophically. Fungi can be divided into three categories of organisms that are not related to each other: Bacteria, Myxomycota, and Fungi. Slime molds are organisms between animals and fungi. In the vegetative stage, it is a naked, cell wall-less, multi-nucleated protoplasm mass, called an amoeboid (similar to an amoeba). But during the reproductive period, it can produce spores with cellulose cell walls and fungal characteristics.

The general term for large fungi that people can eat, specifically refers to fungi among large fungi that can form fruiting bodies or dredging tissues with gelatinous or fleshy texture, and can be eaten or used medicinally.

This group includes yeasts, molds, toadstools and molds, most of which belong to the subphylum Basidiomycotina, and only a few belong to the subphylum Zimandiomycotina. They lack chlorophyll and do not have the structure of roots, stems and leaves of organic plants. Evidence of their existence dates back to about 420 million years ago, but paleontologists believe they appeared earlier.

Fungi are a large group of lower plants that do not contain chlorophyll, cannot carry out photosynthesis, and are heterotrophic. These include bacteria, slime molds and fungi. Its unique characteristics are: the plant body has no differentiation of roots, stems and leaves, does not contain photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll (except for a very few photosynthetic bacteria), cannot carry out photosynthesis, and lives a saprophytic or parasitic life, that is, a heterotrophic life. Reproductive organs are mostly single-cell structures, and the zygote does not develop into an embryo.

Fungi live in a wide range of environments. They can survive in water, air, soil, and even in the bodies of animals and plants.
