True fungi:
-those that are hyphal
-possesscell walls throughout most of their life cycle
-are exclusively absorptive in their nutrition.
Slime moulds:
-those that do not form hyphae
-lack cell walls during the phasethat they obtain
nutrients and grow
-are capable of ingesting nutrients by phagocytosis. So they are more common to Protistaalthough they produce fruiting bodies like fungi.
-The most studied of them are the cellular slime moulds and theplasmodialslime moulds or Myxomycetes.
