Fungi and plants are distinct types of life — fungi are in fact more closely related to animals, and like them, they lack chlorophyll and rely on absorbing nutrients from the outside world rather than making their own through photosynthesis. However the most immediately striking thing about fungi (to a casual observer) is that they're immobile, grow from the ground, and are part of the vegetable section in supermarkets. As such, they've been treated as part of the botanical world for much of history, and fiction often tends to confuse them with plants as well. Typically, purportedly vegetal and fungal creatures will end up with traits properly belonging to the other category, with fungi and fungus creatures sporting green pigmentation, flowers or leaves and the like. It's also rather common for Plant People and Planimals to draw visual inspiration from fungi in their designs. Often, games that divide their monsters in multiple will also place strictly fungal creatures within the same gameplay category as plants.

Fallout: New Vegas: The infection that turns humans into mindless spore carriers is fungal in nature — it's specifically identified as an engineered strain of Beauveria, a real-life fungus that does this very thing to insects. Spore carriers, however, are depicted as green-skinned plant people. Their infection is also spread from leafy, flytrap-like "spore plants", and they're consistently associated with botanical experiments and lush plant life. | |

Pathfinder: In 1st edition, all fungus-based creatures — such as vegepigmies, moldwretches, violet fungi, and the like — are considered part of the Plant creature type. This is averted in 2nd Edition, which introduces a distinct Fungus type into which these creatures are reclassified. Leshies are a type of small plant people created from spirits inhabiting bodies grown from special plants. Most are based on species of true plants such as broad-leaved trees, Venus flytraps, pumpkins, lotuses, cacti, and so on. The exceptions are fungus and lichen leshies, which are grown from fungal bases. |

Magic: The Gathering: Saprolings are small, weak creatures intended to represent animated scraps of plant matter. In practice, they alternate on being visibly vegetal, clearly fungal, or of indeterminate appearance between sets.

Plants vs. Zombies: Various kinds of mushrooms are among the titular "plants" that players can grow on their lawns. The catch is, they're nocturnal, and are only useful when it's night out (unless you give them a Coffee Bean). | |

Life Around a Red Dwarf: The Purpungos looks at first glance like an underwater mushroom thanks to its broad, bell-shaped "head", but it has purple chlorophyll for absorbing energy from sunlight like a plant.
