The Five Kingdoms - Kingdom Fungi

Kingdom Fungi

In general, fungi are multicellular, parasitic or saprophytic, and have cell walls made of chitin. Digestion is extracellular. Rhizoids secrete enzymes and reabsorb the digested nutrients. Circulation, respiration, and excretion occur through diffusion. Reproduction can be asexual through spores or sexual where strains of fungi meet.
