Fungi and Animalia split from Eukarya. Fungi didn't exist before then. I realize "we are all eukaryotes" doesn't have the same punch...

  > Fungi and Animalia split from Eukarya. Fungi didn't exist before then. Plants are also Eukaryotes but Fungi and Animalia have a more recent common ancestor than either has with Plantae. We and fungi are both Opisthokonts, a distinct subclade of Eukaryotes, but plants are not. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opisthokont https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opisthokont
