Most of what we call moulds are fungi. Slime Moulds are a mix of lichens & fungi.

Moulds are fungi, very common organisms that also includes mushrooms and yeasts. Moulds are generally found in nature, and taken indoors by us, and the breeze, all have a purpose, but some have adverse affect on us because of allergy's.

Hi:
Molds (Moulds, in British English) are a class of fungi.
Fungi are classified into yeasts and molds. Yeasts are unicellular fungi and typically have a spherical or oval shape. Molds, on the other hand, are filamentous and multicellular. They form filaments called 'Hyphae' and reproduction is either sexual or asexual, but by the formation of spores. Spores of fungi exhibit very interesting morphologies and hold significant taxonomical importance. Spores of molds are found normally in the air and are the prime source of routine contaminants in bacterial culture media, in human infections and food spoilage. I guess you do know that fungi are eukaryotes.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Mould is an example of fungi. Other examples of fungi are mushroom, yeast, penicillium and rhizopus. They reproduce asextually by means of spores.They have no roots, stems and leaves. They are also non-green plants

I think they are fungi, if I remember my high school Biology.
