Question
some mushrooms can be eaten, while some will poison you. they are often mistaken as a plant. in which kingdom would you place them?
protista
fungi
plantae
Mushrooms are part of the Fungi kingdom. Organisms in the Fungi kingdom (like mushrooms) have cell walls made of chitin, are heterotrophic (often decomposers), and differ from plants (Plantae, autotrophic with cellulose cell walls) and protists (Protista, diverse unicellular or simple multicellular organisms). Protista doesn't include mushrooms, and Plantae is for plants, not fungi. So mushrooms belong to Fungi.
