Is fungus differentiated from plants? Honest question, not a smartass one.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 9 months ago (3 children)

The 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.)

Wild. Thanks for the terminology. I'm about to go down a Google rabbit hole now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Got any links on obelisks? Can't find anything other than articles on Egyptian sandstone monuments

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They don't self-replicate. They interact with well-folded versions of the protein. Causing them to unfold and aggregate into plaques.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

yeah, so they are similar to viruses in that they cant self-replicate because they need something very specific to attach onto to replicate.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes - they are completely different.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I hope to god they at least are still considered flora?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

They are not, mushrooms are more closely related to animals

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

So that's why they scream and beg for their lives while I'm cooking.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Yes that's what animals and mushrooms have in common.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

This is the reality, you're making them suffer. You monster

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Which is a fact that for some reason I will never be fully okay with.
