Answer:

Mushrooms are in kingdom Fungi and humans are in kingdom Animalia

Step-by-step explanation:

These two kingdoms are similar in that they are both in Domain Eukarya, meaning they have eukaryotic cells (have a nucleus, membrane bound organelles, are relatively large and organized). Both are also heterotrophic, meaning they eat other organisms to get energy. They are different in that fungi cells have cell walls made of chitin while animals do not have cell walls. Fungi tend to live pretty sedentary lives, and while that is true for some animals, that is not true of most. Fungi are also decomposers while animals are consumers.
