| 1) fungi cannot be attributed to plants, since their cells lack chlorophyll and chloroplasts
2) mushrooms cannot be attributed to animals, since they absorb nutrients throughout the surface of the body, and do not swallow in the form of food lumps
3) unlike animals, mushrooms grow throughout life.
4) their body consists of thin branching threads – hyphae, forming a mycelium, or mycelium
5) mycelial cells store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen
