In this case I'm not confused. Fungi isn't foundational the way this meme implies. Monera and protista existed before fungi and would go on even if all fungi were to vanish. In fact were monera and plantae to vanish nearly all fungi would parish. It's pretty simple to tell which kingdom is more foundational. Β―\(ツ)/Β―
