Taxonomic remark Although once classified as plants, in recent decades Fungi have been recognised as their own kingdom, more closely related to animals than plants, although some groups previously treated as fungi are now in Protozoa and/or Chromista. Opinions vary as to whether or not the Microsporidia, a protistan group closely related to fungi, should be classified in this kingdom or not; Ruggiero et al., 2015, treats the latter as Protozoa, however IRMNG presently follows Wijayawardene et al., 2020 who re-rank Microsporidia as a subphylum within the fungal phylum Rozellomycota. The somewhat mysterious fossil group nematophytes (Nematophyta) is also presently considered to have been allied to the Fungi although this interpretation may change in the future. [details]
