Is fungus differentiated from plants? Honest question, not a smartass one.

    The four kingdoms of eukaryotes are:

    • Animals
    • Plants
    • Fungi
    • Protists

    So, taxonomically, plants are as different from fungi as they are from animals.

    Above that is the domains of life:

    • Eukaryotes (all of the above)
    • Bacteria
    • Archaea

    Then above that:

    • Cellular life (all of the above)
    • Viruses
    • Viroids
    • Obelisks (Potentially. Just announced last month.)

    And then you got yer prions, which are just self-replicating proteins, and not considered living, but worth mentioning because they kinda act like it.

    They are not, mushrooms are more closely related to animals
