From The Plant Encyclopedia
The kingdom Fungi includes mushrooms, truffles, yeasts, and moulds. Fungus are not plants scientifically, nor even in the Kingdom Plantae, but they are a cultivated organism. The kingdom Fungi includes not only mushrooms, but also agents for bread yeast, and in fermentation of foods, such as wine, beer, and cheese.
