Most commonly, fungi are saprophytic in nutrition, i.e., they derive nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter.
BUT:
Lichens are a form of fungus that host cyanobacteria to conduct photosynthesis... except the cyanobacteria have evolved to be dependent on their fungal hosts, and therefore are symbiotes.
Plants, likewise, do not directly conduct photosynthesis. Their chloroplasts are simply cyanobacteria that have evolved to become completely dependent on their plant hosts.
So, really, lichens are effectively photosynthetic in the same sense plants are. But are a composite organism composed of a fungus (nonphotosynthetic) and cyanobacteria (photosynthetic), instead of a single organism
Fungi is not photosynthetic. This is because fungi is not a producer it is a decomposer. Decomposers break down other organisms.
no any body thatpayees attention in science knows that they are decomposers
No, they do not.
No, they are not.
Yes there are.
no
Fungi has a cell wall of chitin and cannot photosynthesize
The members of the kingdom Fungi have multicellular filaments that grow into food, break it down and then absorb it. The filaments are called hyphae.
Fungi
it waz first in the kingdom protoctista but now in kingdom fugus
Mushrooms are members of the Fungi Kingdom
Fungi has a cell wall of chitin and cannot photosynthesize
Members of the kingdom Fungi are Heterotrophs and the Members of the kingdom Plantae are Photosynthetic Autotrophs.

Fungi.
Fungi do not photosynthesize.
protist

No, mushrooms are fungi and so cannot photosynthesize.
Yes, Jew's Ear is a fungi. It does not have a green pigment called chlorophyll, which allows it to photosynthesize. Only plants can photosynthesize. Therefore, it is a fungi.
animals are mobile and don't have cell walls
Fungi
Fungi Fungi used to be classed as members of the Plant Kingdom but are now placed in a separate Kingdom of Life, the others being the Plant Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom.
