Fungus-like protists, such as slime molds, obtain nutrients by engulfing organic matter and breaking it down using enzymes. They are heterotrophic organisms that feed on decaying plant material, bacteria, and other microorganisms. This process of obtaining nutrients is similar to how fungi obtain their nutrition.
You would most likely find fungus-like protists in damp environments such as soil, decaying matter, and on the surfaces of plants. These protists thrive in moist conditions where they can obtain nutrients and reproduce.
The three main sub-classifications of protists are protozoa (unicellular organisms that obtain nutrients through ingestion), algae (photosynthetic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular), and fungus-like protists (heterotrophic organisms with characteristics similar to fungi).
Most fungi consist of cells that are relatively unspecialized. Like unicellular protists, the cells of a fungus resemble each other and obtain their own nutrients directly from the environment.
No, brown algae are not fungus-like protists. Brown algae are a type of multicellular, photosynthetic algae that belong to the kingdom Chromista, while fungus-like protists are organisms that display characteristics of both fungi and protists, and belong to the kingdom Protista.

Fungus-like protists can be unicellular or multicellular. Some examples of unicellular fungus-like protists include slime molds and water molds.

They both eat and reproduce
Fungus-like protists move, that is the biggest difference. Both of them are heterotrophs, eukaryotic, and both use spores to reproduce.

No, brown algae are not fungus-like protists. Brown algae are a type of multicellular, photosynthetic algae that belong to the kingdom Chromista, while fungus-like protists are organisms that display characteristics of both fungi and protists, and belong to the kingdom Protista.
Animal-Like Plant-like fungus-like
The three main types of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime molds (fungus-like protists). Each type of protist has unique characteristics and plays a different ecological role in various environments.
