    Not saying these are incorrect, but I think you should have also included the alternate pronunciations, fuhn-jee and fuhn-jai, which I hear my biology professors often use. I think this pronunciation is based on Ecclesiastical Latin.

    English majors should stick to English. Biologists here in the US Midwest pronounce the plural of fungus as foon-jai. Many have minors in Attic and Hellenic Greek.

      It actually makes more sense the British way because it's more similar to the Italian pronunciation (and therefore Latin)
      In Italian we have "fungo" singular (pronounced as fungo) and "funghi" plural (pronounced as fungee

    Wrong again! Never heard such pronunciation as this guy just did! Not by educated British, Americans,or other English speaking nationals anyway. Find and learn from correct sources with better credibility and reputation, such as from various dictionaries, or academic institutions with real experts in the field of languages, linguistics and etymology. Not TH-cam, by a non-English speaker with no background in the field trying to teach others, "How to say......"!!

    Americans have problems with all sorts of words, I find it hilarious and with a slight 'awe bless' feeling when a toddler can't pronounce a word. Words like - Aluminium and Magellan. Most of the words Americans cannot pronounce seem to have a 'g' 'gee' . Mind you they seem to be adamant that Australia is a continent when the rest of the world say 'Australasia' or 'Oceania' is the actual continent, Australia is a country of Australasia / Oceania.

      In American English, "aluminum" only has one "I", so we think you sound ridiculous and hilarious when you can't pronounce the word correctly. And then there's that thing you do with adding an "R" sound to words that don't even have an "R" (eg. Princess Dianar). What's up with that ⁉️

      @@luckilyty8501 that's exactly what I said. Please do reread it for clarification. Prince Charles, for one, pronounced "Diana" with an "R" at the end. Proper British-English commonly adds an "R" sound to words ending with an "ah" sound. It sounds like your comments were intended for the original post that I was only responding to.

      Oh David, so cocky for a graduate. You should read far and wide. While the pronunciation of fungus is the same in both British and American English, the pronunciation of fungi varies. In the UK, fungi is pronounced as fun-gee, where the "i" at the end of fungi is pronounced with an "ee" sound. In both cases, "g" is pronounced as a hard "g", but the American pronunciation of fungi is slightly different, with the ''gee'' becoming ''gai', which is also with a hard 'g'.
