Fungi grows on any surface that holds the nutrition the specific type of fungi needs.
They have thread-like bodies, are heterotrophs and decomposers. Fungi are multicellular and eukaryotic. They gain nutrition through absorption.
Feeding of the extra food that a plant makes and stores.
· 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:- It includes eukaryotic multicellular heterotrophs which are absorptive in their nuttitional mode e.g mushroom Animal:- It includes eukaryokic multicellular consumer. The mode of nutrition is ingestive heterotroph.
saprophytic nutrition
well... i know I'm 8 but the most worst fungi is the death cap.

Fungi do not photosynthesize, so they are consumers while the vast majority of plants are producers.

These are called fairy rings, which are primarily caused by a fungi.
Mycorrhizae
Bacteria and fungi are alike in following respects: # Both show presence of cell walls, that too non-cellulosic. # They reproduce by asexual methods. # Generally heterotrophic in nutrition.
Primary Consumers are primarily herbivores, they eat plants, algae and fungi.
