· Fungi are heterotrophs that acquire their nutrients by absorption.
· They absorb small organic molecules from the surrounding medium.
· Exoenzymes, powerful hydrolytic enzymes secreted by the fungus, break down food outside its body into simpler compounds that the fungus can absorb and use.
· The absorptive mode of nutrition is associated with the ecological roles of fungi as decomposers (saprobes), parasites, and mutualistic symbionts.
· Saprobic fungi absorb nutrients from nonliving organisms.
· Parasitic fungi absorb nutrients from the cells of living hosts.
· Some parasitic fungi, including some that infect humans and plants, are pathogenic.
· Mutualistic fungi also absorb nutrients from a host organism, but they reciprocate with functions that benefit their partner in some way.
Fungi secrete enzymes into the environment. These enzymes breakdown whatever the fungus is growing on (or in) into simplier molecules. It then absorbs these molecules.
Fungi have saprophytic,symbiotic & parasitic nutrition
Fungi are heterotrophs called saprophytes because they obtain nutrients from dead organic matter.
It is a type of heterotrophic nutrition.
fungus-like
alji is a type of fungus
A mushroom is a Fungus
No it is a type of fungus!!
no, it is a fungus
Plants gets nutrition by its own and fungus steals another plant's food.
saprophytic nutrition which is external.Majorly decaying matter of dead organisms is feed on.
fungus-like
From it's host, either alive or dead

A mushroom is it's own fungus for that it does not produce fungus it is fungus.
A mushroom is a type of fungus.
A mushroom is a Fungus
A fungus is a member of the Eukaryotes. They include the mushrooms.
The type of fungus that grows horizontal to food source are said to be heterotrophic. Such fungus do not process their own food.
