The symbiosis between Shelf Fungi and Hickory trees is Parasitism.
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.
By parasitism ( think athletes foot ) and by having powerful enzymes to break down tough carbon based detritus on forest floors thus getting smaller biomoecules to feed their own metabolic processes.
This is called parasitism.

Not usually, however, there are fungi that parasitize themselves (sel-parasitism) or other fungi.

Almost all protists and fungi are symbiotic with lichens. These relationships are usually either parasitism or mutualism depending on the environment.

I think it is parasitism because corn smut is the disease on a corn crop caused by fungi and so, fungi is taking nourishment from the corn crop but damaging it at the same time (corn smut..).

There is a parasitism relationship in this house.
parasitism is a type of symbiosis
not me spelling biology wrong anywho the answer is... C. Photosynthesis
