Kingdom Fungi
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are the most common type of fungi on Earth. One thing a mushroom doesn't have to worry about is relying on photosynthesis. Mushrooms are saphrophytes so they can gather their food during the day and night. Surely, being able to get food at any time helps keep these fungi alive. Since mushrooms have cell walls made of chitin they are able to withstand a lot of harsh things because of their strong structure make-up. Mushrooms don't move quickly so a sturdy structure is necessary.
