No it doesn't because fungi needs sunlight to make their own food. They actually need sunlight to make their own food because fungi are not green.

Does a fungus have chlorophyll?
Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone.

What does zygomycota eat?
Fungi remove nutrients from other organic matter, living or dead, using their digestive enzymes. Most need water for at least some of their life cycles. Unlike plants, fungi do not make their own food, but some appear able to absorb energy from ionizing radiation using the pigment melanin.
How are ferns and fungi different?
1. Ferns make their own food and fungi are saprophytes or parasites 2. Ferns are vascular plants and fungi belong to non-vascular category 3. The main plant body in ferns is differentiated into root, stem and leaves; fungi are mostly made up of filamentous mycelium.
What do fungi use to reproduce?
Sac Fungi would need a food source, so they can reproduce by reproducing spores.When they do produce spores the wind carries that spore to make a new fungi. Sac Fungi would also need humidity to survive.
Why can't fungi make its own food?
mushrooms are decomposers. they decompose and breakdown dead tissues of other plants or species and restore the minerals etc back into the soil. They dont need to make their own food like animals or plants.

Why don't fungi need light to survive?
Fungi feed off of dead or decaying materials. Only plants need sunlight to survive, because they produce their own food through photosynthesis.

Different between fern and fungi?
Fungi depend on other plants. Ferns make their own food. A fern has one more step (Prothallus). Fungi do not. ferns need fertilization. Fungi do not need fertilization.
Does bracket fungi need sunlight to survive?
No, fungi are not plants. They need food and water to survive.
Why is a mushroom a fungus and not a plant?
Mushrooms are classified as fungi rather than plants because first of all, they do not contain chlorophyll to make their own food, so as a result they are not green and do not need sunlight to grow. Second, there are no actual roots, leaves, or stems. (the tightly packed hyphae make the stem/stalk seem solid). Third, mushrooms mostly feed on dead organisms, which keep the environment clean. So without the fungi's, or mushrooms, help, the Earth would be littered with dead plants and animals!
Can the comsumer be a heterotroph?
Heterotrophs are animals, fungi or protists that cannot do photosynthesis nor make their own food, so they consume other organisms (either alive or dead) as food. Consumers are organisms that need to eat others to survive (rather than make their own food via photosynthesis.) So, yes, consumers are heterotrophs.
Does fungi not have chlorophyll?
They cannot make their own food without chlorophyll, so they need to absorb other plants' food

Where would bacteria and fungi be found growing?
Bacteria and fungi can be found mostly in moist places because they need the water to drink. So what I'm saying is water your toes with a watering can to keep them growing. Make sure you provide them with food (slugs and dead skin from your head). Good luck with growing your fungi so that they can help you take over the world. Don't count on it. Go to your GP for more information.
Does fungi need a host to survive?
Yes. Fungi , on the food chain, is considered a decomposer. It can't survive unless it has something to decompose.
