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; IRMNG presently follows the treatment of Ruggiero et al., 2015, in treating the latter as Protozoa. [details]
