Amoebas have a nucleus and a food vacuole and reproduce by binary fission. Fungus-like protists are heterotrophs, meaning they need to eat other living things or once living things. Fungus-like protists can attack potato plants, corns, cabbages, and grapes.One type of fungus-like protists is slime mold.rotists, like monerans, are microscopic. Some examples are amoeba, paramecium, kelp, and diatom. Protists vary widely in shape, size, and form, and can be unicellular or multicellular.
