Fungi are plant-like organisms that lack chlorophyll. Fungi are one of the five kingdoms of life. Many fungi are good and useful (edible mushrooms would be an example of these) while some cause problems (some fungi can injure plants and people). There are over 100,000 species of fungi.
Yeast are unicellular fungi. One of the more well known characteristics is the ability to ferment sugars for the production of ethanol.
Is this helping you?What is the difference between fungi and yeast cells?
Yeast IS a fungus, so no essential difference.
I suspect there's more tp this question, possibly to do with yeast being a single cell and many of the other fungi being coenocytic.
