A word that includes plants and fungi, but not animals

Question

I am working on a project which includes information about plants and fungi. It would be very helpful for me if there a word that means plants-and-fungi, but I'm not sure there is. "Flora" only includes plants, but "biota" includes animals.

It seems that the answer is "no", however "flora" is probably the best option, as it can include fungi in specific contexts (e.g. "intestinal flora").
