How do fungi eat their food?

Fungi secrete enzymes to break down organic matter outside their bodies into smaller molecules which can then be absorbed across their cell walls. This process is known as extracellular digestion, and allows fungi to obtain nutrients from a wide variety of sources such as dead plant material, soil, and other organic material.


All fungi are edible?

no Yes, some are...but only the basidiomycetes (mushrooms) but remember there are tons of poisonous ones out there. Other fungi, such as yeast, are used for beer, bread, etc, but other fungi like mould are dangerous to our livers, lungs, etc.


What Ways plants fungi and animals obtain nutrients?

Is a truffle multicellular or unicellular?

Truffles are multicellular organisms. They are fungi belonging to the genus *Tuber* and are composed of multiple cells like other fungi. Truffles form a network of hyphae (thread-like structures) underground, and they reproduce by producing spores. These spores develop into new truffles when conditions are favorable. While truffles themselves are not visible multicellular organisms, they are comprised


What happens to most organisms when they die?

When organisms die, their bodies start to decompose as bacteria and fungi break them down. This decomposition process releases nutrients back into the environment, allowing them to be recycled and used by other organisms.
