Both fungi and bacteria have cell walls (although quite different in structure and composition).
Most bacteria and all fungi obtain energy from aerobic respiration (respiration in Bacteria is a bit different than in Eukaryotes but oxygen is always needed to oxidise sugars, in the end water and carbon dioxide are formed)
Both groups possess cell membranes composed of phospholipids (characteristic for all Bacteria and Eukariotes, not the case in Archaea)
Some yeasts and most bacteria reproduce by binary fission
Certain bacteria and certain fungi have the ability to produce antibiotics
Many species of both groups are human animal and plant pathogens
Both bacteria and fungi are important decomposers of organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems
Both have the ability to survive harsh environmental conditions by producing specialized thick walled spores. Note that their formation and structure are different between those groups

characteristics of fungi:-
- Fungi are eukaryotic, non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms.
- They may be unicellular or filamentous.
- They reproduce by means of spores.
- Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alternation of generation.
- Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot perform photosynthesis.
- Fungi store their food in the form of starch.
- Biosynthesis of chitin occurs in fungi.
- The nuclei of the fungi are very small.
- The fungi have no embryonic stage.
- They develop from the spores.
- The mode of reproduction is sexual or asexual.
- Some fungi are parasitic and can infect the host.
- Fungi produce a chemical called pheromone which leads to sexual reproduction in fungi.
- Examples include mushrooms, moulds, yeast.
