Fungi (moulds, mushrooms, yeasts)
These are eukaryotes (with a membrane-bound nucleus). Their cells contain organelles including mitochondria. Their cell wall is made of chitin and glycans. Most fungi grow as, and obtain their nutrition through their hyphae. They can be grouped according to their fruiting bodies. Uniquely, yeasts reproduce by budding. Examples: Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
