I would have though so, but this paper made me reconsider that.
Fungi are eukaryotes, but very special - neither animal nor plant, while they have some properties of each (ex: can store glycogen like animals)
Maybe the last common ancestor was closer to bacteria than archaea, and from that point significant properties were not gained (nuclei, mitochondria...), but lost (ex: no more glycogen for plants!) - a mind blowing thought!!
