Detailed explanation-1: -Which organisms belong to kingdom fungi? Kingdom fungi include mushrooms, yeast and moulds containing filamentous structures called hyphae.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fungi kingdom consists of mushrooms, lichens, molds, mildews, and yeasts. There are over 150, 000 species of identified fungi around the world, and likely millions of species yet to be discovered.

Detailed explanation-3: -A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, which grows above the ground on soil or its food source. It is known as the ‘meat’ of the vegetable world.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mushrooms aren’t really plants, they are types of fungi that have a “plantlike” form-with a stem and cap (they have cell walls as well). This is really just the “flower or fruit” of the mushroom-the reproductive part which disperses the spores.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mushrooms are classified as Basidiomycota because of their shape during development. The two basic parts of a mushroom are the underground hyphae and the basidiocarp top.
