Detailed explanation-1: -Historically, fungi were included in the plant kingdom; however, because fungi lack chlorophyll and are distinguished by unique structural and physiological features (i.e., components of the cell wall and cell membrane), they have been separated from plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi used to be classified as plants. Now, they are known to have unique traits that set them apart from plants. For example, fungal cell walls contain chitin, not cellulose, and fungi absorb food rather than make their own. These are just a few of the reasons fungi are now placed in their own kingdom.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
