Mushrooms are a type of fungus and they are used for spreading their organism's spores. Fungi are absorptive heterotrophs and obtain their food from their environments. They do not go through photosynthesis.

How do mushrooms occur photosynthesis?
Tricky question, but this question is false. Don't mean to make you confused, but photosynthesis doesn't occur in mushrooms. A DEET, DEET!
Why can mushrooms not photosynthesis with explanation?
they do not contain chlorophyll, so they cannot absorb light energy for phtosynthesis
Do mushroom have chloroplast?
a mushroom does not have chloroplasts because it is a fungus not a plant.
How do mushrooms obtain nutrients from their surroundings?
Q:How do mushrooms obtain their food? A: my best guess is that they get it from what they are growing on. :)
What do spiders and mushrooms have in common?
1. Some are poisonous and some are not. 2. Some can do good to your body. 3. Some can kill.

What do plants and mushrooms have in common?
they do not need photosynthesis for food.
Why don't mushrooms need photosynthesis?
because it does not have green pigment chlorophyll
Why can mushrooms not photosynthesis with explanation?
they do not contain chlorophyll, so they cannot absorb light energy for phtosynthesis
Does a mushroom use oxygen in its metablism?
Yes, fungi and their fruiting bodies (mushrooms) are aerobic organisms and thus require oxygen for their metabolism.

Do enoki mushrooms produce sugar and oxygen?
Sugar, maybe, as a byproduct of decomposition but not oxygen. Enoki mushrooms are heterotrophic organisms. They are unable to produce their own food via photosynthesis (or chemosynthesis). They are more likely to consume sugars and oxygen than produce them.
Do mushrooms get their energy from the sun?
Fungi don't contain any chlorophyll, so they don't undergo photosynthesis, however, mushrooms do grow toward light and use it in some way. Mycologists do not know how mushrooms use sunlight, only that they do.
Does lighting cause mushrooms to grow?
Actually, yes.Exactly 'how' mushrooms derive energy from light remains unknown and under study, but the fact remains that most mushrooms require light to form and grow properly.Mushrooms are not plants, so discussion of chlorophyll and photosynthesis is not applicable to fungi. Mushrooms do however require light to fully develop, and mushrooms grown in the presence of proper lighting grow larger and have a higher finished weight than mushrooms grown with insufficient lighting.

Do mushrooms contain chlorophyll?
No. Mushrooms are a fungus rather than a plant. It doesn't need sunlight to live. So it doesn't use chlorophyll which is a main chemical component in plants that helps turn sunlight into energy for plants during photosynthesis. Hope this helped!
