Protista:

It is a group that includes unicellular eukaryotic and a few simple multicellular eukaryotic organisms.

They may or may not have cell walls. Appendages such as hair-like cilia or whip-like flagella and pseudopodia are the locomotory structures used by these organisms to move around.
They are both autotrophic and heterotrophic. These organisms are also known as primitive animals as they regarded as ancestors of all multicellular eukaryotic organisms.
Protists can be classified into two main groups. The plant-like protists are photosynthetic and are commonly called algae.
The algae are both unicellular and multicellular. The animal-like protists are known as protozoans that include the amoeba and paramecium.
They reproduce by fission or conjugation.

Example:

The unicellular algae, diatoms, and protozoans such as amoeba, paramecium, and euglena.

Clockwise from top to bottom: Paramecium, Amoeba, Euglena, Diatoms, Algae

Fungi:

It is a group that includes multicellular non-green eukaryotic organisms. A few organisms among these use decaying organic material as food.
These types of organisms are known as saprotrophs or decomposers.
The organisms belonging to this kingdom, secrete enzymes that digest the food and later absorb the digested food.
Some of them which depend on the living protoplasm for their food are known as parasites.
Most of the fungi have the capability of becoming multicellular organisms at particular stages of their lives.
The cell wall of fungi is made up of a tough complex sugar called chitin.
