Best Answer

Agarics are mushrooms. They are heterotroph organisms that secrete enzymes into the environment to degrade their food. They then absorb the byproducts. They lack chloroplasts, and their cell walls are made of chitin. For these reasons, among others, agarics are considered fungi and not plants.
