Fungi secrete enzymes into the environment. These enzymes breakdown/degrade organic compounds and release the nutrients stored in those compounds. The nutrients are then absorbed by the fungus. Some fungi are able to secrete enzymes that transform unusable, inorganic forms of nutrients into usable forms, which are then absorbed.

Where do mushrooms grow at?
Fungi grows on any surface that holds the nutrition the specific type of fungi needs.
What are characteristics of fungi?
They have thread-like bodies, are heterotrophs and decomposers. Fungi are multicellular and eukaryotic. They gain nutrition through absorption.
How does Fungi obtain their nutrition by?
Feeding of the extra food that a plant makes and stores.
What type of nutrition is performed by fungus?
· Fungi are heterotrophs that acquire their nutrients by absorption. · They absorb small organic molecules from the surrounding medium. · Exoenzymes, powerful hydrolytic enzymes secreted by the fungus, break down food outside its body into simpler compounds that the fungus can absorb and use. · The absorptive mode of nutrition is associated with the ecological roles of fungi as decomposers (saprobes), parasites, and mutualistic symbionts. · Saprobic fungi absorb nutrients from nonliving organisms. · Parasitic fungi absorb nutrients from the cells of living hosts. · Some parasitic fungi, including some that infect humans and plants, are pathogenic. · Mutualistic fungi also absorb nutrients from a host organism, but they reciprocate with functions that benefit their partner in some way.
Why are fungi and animals so different?
Fungi:- It includes eukaryotic multicellular heterotrophs which are absorptive in their nuttitional mode e.g mushroom Animal:- It includes eukaryokic multicellular consumer. The mode of nutrition is ingestive heterotroph.

What is the major distinction between fungi and plant with respect to nutrition?
Fungi do not photosynthesize, so they are consumers while the vast majority of plants are producers.

What are certain fungi that play important roles in the nutrition of vascular plants by forming symbiotic associations with their roots?
Mycorrhizae
How are bacteria and fungi are alike?
Bacteria and fungi are alike in following respects: # Both show presence of cell walls, that too non-cellulosic. # They reproduce by asexual methods. # Generally heterotrophic in nutrition.

From where fungi get its nutrition?
A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes unicellular microorganisms such as yeasts and molds. Fungi obtain nutrients in three different ways. They obtains its nutrients from non-living organic matter, usually dead and decaying plant or animal matter, by absorbing soluble organic compounds.
