We could default to adding an "s" or "es" behind a singular noun, but there are different rules that apply to certain nouns, and exceptions to these rules.
Multiple fungus should be known as funguses, but the preferred form is fungi. It may be even more confusing to pluralize words like "appendix". It is, in fact, "appendices".
