Fungi get their food from either dead and decaying organisms or they live off another living organisms nutrients. This can be in the form of parasitism (harming the host), commensalism (not helping or hurting the host), or mutualism (where both the host and the fungi receive a benefit from the partnership). Mutualism is also termed as symbiosis. Fungi do not have chlorophyll to create their own food for like plants.
