They look more like a fungus than a plant
26 0 ReplyIs fungus differentiated from plants? Honest question, not a smartass one.
15 0 ReplyThe four kingdoms of eukaryotes are:
- Animals
- Plants
- Fungi
- Protists
So, taxonomically, plants are as different from fungi as they are from animals.
Above that is the domains of life:
- Eukaryotes (all of the above)
- Bacteria
- Archaea
Then above that:
- Cellular life (all of the above)
- Viruses
- Viroids
- Obelisks (Potentially. Just announced last month.)

And then you got yer prions, which are just self-replicating proteins, and not considered living, but worth mentioning because they kinda act like it.
6 0 ReplyThey don't self-replicate. They interact with well-folded versions of the protein. Causing them to unfold and aggregate into plaques.
5 0 Replyyeah, so they are similar to viruses in that they cant self-replicate because they need something very specific to attach onto to replicate.

Yes - they are completely different.
7 0 ReplyI hope to god they at least are still considered flora?
2 0 ReplyThey are not, mushrooms are more closely related to animals
10 0 ReplySo that's why they scream and beg for their lives while I'm cooking.
8 0 ReplyYes that's what animals and mushrooms have in common.
