Hey there!
The word 'Fungi' is the Plural form of the term 'Fungus'
A Fungus is a group of Unicellular, Multicellular, or Syncytial spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter.
Examples:
Moulds, Yeast, Mushrooms etc.
Fungi are recognized by the following characteristics:
¤ Similarity to plants and animal cells, fungal cells contain nuclei with chromosomes.
¤ No chlorophyll, and hence they can't do the process of Photosynthesis
¤ They absorb their food i.e. they are osmotrophic)
¤ The body of a majority of fungi is comprised of a spreading network of very narrow, tubular, branching filaments called hyphae.
¤ These filaments exude enzymes, and absorb food, at their growing tips.
¤ Although filaments are very narrow, they are collectively very long, and can explore and exploit food substrates very efficiently.
¤ This group is commonly referred to as mold.
¤ A small group of fungi, the yeasts, exists as single cells.
¤ They (Fungi) generally reproduce by means of spores, which develop on, and are released by, a range of different unique structures.
Cheers!

fungi are heterotrophic,they are use complex
organic compounds as a source of energy and carbon,not photosynthesis.its any member of
the group of eukaryotic organisms
