Is it true that Mushrooms, molds, and other fungi are classified as plants?

No. One peer-reviewed source states that although fungi were historically classified in the plant kingdom, modern phylogeneticists consider fungi to have their own independent origin separate from green plants. Two further reference sources describe fungi as a distinct class of eukaryotic organisms that lack chloroplasts and do not photosynthesize.
