mushrooms are a type or organism known as a saprotroph meaning they feed of decaying or dead matter such as wood or leaves. they extract molecules from dead plant matter and use them in the same way as humans, without the need for sunlight.

there are some types of plants (orchids) which survive the same way and do not need sunlight to grow.
