Saprophytism
Mushrooms grow on dead plant matter, such as fallen leaves, twigs and branches. They are saprophytes, which means that they digest decaying organic matter. This is why you will often find mushrooms growing in damp, dark areas, such as under trees or near compost heaps.
Maitake, Grifola frondosa, is a mushroom found growing wild in Japan and in forests in the eastern part of North America, where it grows on dying or already dead hardwood trees.

is the medusa mushroom a secondary consumer or primary consumer
No. Mushrooms feed on dead organisms.
Mushrooms often grow where other dead mushrooms are found because the mushroom itself is not the "plant". A mushroom is the flowering body, or spore producing offshoot of the main portion (or mycelium - white or off-white soft spongy threads amassed into a clump) which grows underground. So a dead mushroom is simply one of many which will grow from this same clump of mycelium - thus others sprout in the same place.
yes, but it can be all kinds of different colors, i saw a purple mushroom and found out that it was dead! You can really never tell if a mushroom is deadly. If it looks really wierd just dont touch it.
"DEAD END" (2003) Great movie.
It is a decomposer because it breaks down dead organisms. What types of consumers are there?
No. A decomposer is something like a mushroom that decomposes dead material.
A mushroom actually is a fungi. It releases enzymes that decompose dead plants and animals. Other types of fungi are mildew and mold.
