The taxonomic kingdom is Fungi, although in some classification schemes they are a division of the kingdom Plantae. The Fungi comprise all the different fungus groups of spore-producing organisms, usually feeding on organic matter, and include moulds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.

Funga is a recent term to describe and classify a group of organisms under the kingdom Fungi. The term funga seeks to simplify projects that are oriented toward implementation of educational and conservation goals in the remarkable world of this group of living organism.

The fungus kingdom encompasses an enormous diversity of taxa with varied ecologies, life cycle strategies, and morphologies ranging from unicellular aquatic chytrids to large mushrooms. However, little is known of the true biodiversity of the fungus kingdom, which has been estimated at 2.2 million to 3.8 million species. Of these, only about 148,000 have been described
