Mushrooms don't photosynthesize at all.
Photosynthesis is the process of using sunlight to create sugar. Plants are mostly green because a chemical they produce called chlorophyll, which is a protein which helps to start the complicated chemical process that uses hydrogen, oxygen and carbon to produce sugar. Some bacteria also produce sugar from sunlight.
Mushrooms are very much like the fruit of a tree. They aren't a complete organism, just part of one. The organism that produces mushrooms is a fungus that lives mostly underground. They sprout the mushrooms in order to reproduce by spreading spores, much like plants use fruits and flowers to reproduce themselves.
Fungi process water and decaying material (plants, animals and animal waste) to produce sugars instead of producing sugars from sunlight like plants. Both plants and fungi depend on decaying plants and animals and animal waste for fats and proteins and on soil for minerals, and on moisture from the air, rain and soil for water.

Can a protozoan photosynthesize. name one protozoan that can photosynthesize?
yes euglena
Can plants respire and photosynthesize at the same time?
Yes, the can photosynthesize and respire at the same time.
Do leaves photosynthesize?
Leave per se do not photosynthesize but the organelles within the cells of the leaves (the chloroplasts) do.
Why are plants awesome?
Because they PHOTOSYNTHESIZE!
Is jew's ears a fungi?
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.
Is mushrooms able to photosynthesize?
No, mushrooms are fungi and so cannot photosynthesize.
Why mushrooms are not plants?
Mushrooms are classified as fungi and not plants because they do not photosynthesize their energy from the sun, instead obtaining it directly from the ground.
Why does a plant die if left in the dark?
Because most plants require the Sun to photosynthesize (turn sunlight into energy) and create food to survive. Mushrooms are one of the few vegetation that require no sun at all.

Can a cabbage leaf photosynthesize?
Cabbage leaf can photosynthesize because it has chlorophyll. Also red cabbage can photosynthesize too. Absolutely, red cabbages have chlorophyll, but it masked by other pigments. (anthocyanins)
