Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Fungi is a part of the five kingdom classifications given by R.H Whittaker. Kingdom Fungi characteristics include a chitinous cell wall, heterotrophic nutrition, and a filamentous body structure known as mycelium. Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms. Kingdom fungi classification is constantly evolving but currently includes major phyla like Ascomycota (sac fungi), Basidiomycota (club fungi), and Chytridiomycota (chytrids).
