What additives are present in mushrooms?

Mushrooms are unique. They are neither animal nor plant. Some people consider them plants for various reasons, but they differ from plants. They have no real roots, leaves, or stems, and contain no chlorophyll. Fungi feed mostly on dead plant and animal matter, which helps keep the environment clean and enriches the soil. For this reason, they are placed in a Kingdom of their own," The Kingdom of Fungi". Mushrooms are the visible parts of certain fungal growths that live underground, where they feed on the dead and decaying matter. When these fungi are ready to reproduce they send up mushrooms, fruiting bodies that carry spores for reproduction. Spores form on the gills of a mushroom underneath its cap. Within a few days they shoot out and scatter, and the fruiting body dies. Some of the billions of spores released will develop into new fungi.
