They are considered to be closer to animals than plants and do demonstrate sensitivity to the environment (sentience). It has been suggested that the mind altering effects of certain fungus contributed to the development of human intelligence (states of conciousness) and going out even further into the weird it has been suggested that the mycelium network (by which fungus connect various plants in a ecosystem) is concious and allows the transfer of data between nodes (plants) within the network. ie the mycelium network of fungus interacting with plants and animals is in fact an alien intelligence that humans are not currently equipped to understand.</blockquote>
