Fungi aren't plants, but also, according to a quick search, apparently they compete more fiercely than plants. So overall: I agree.
Although, in this picture, the fungi would be mycorrhizae, which do form symbiotic relationships with plants. In fact, fungi enabled plant terrestrialization, i. e. we probably wouldn't have trees in their current form without fungi.

I heavily recommend Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake, amazing and entertaining book.

Not affiliated in any way, but love mushrooms.
but the meme is about plants and fungi sharing resources not plants/fungi helping other plants/fungi
Ahh, I was looking at the other stalks as tall mushrooms, but they could definitely be plants.
