Most commonly, fungi are saprophytic in nutrition, i.e., they derive nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter.
BUT:
Lichens are a form of fungus that host cyanobacteria to conduct photosynthesis... except the cyanobacteria have evolved to be dependent on their fungal hosts, and therefore are symbiotes.
Plants, likewise, do not directly conduct photosynthesis. Their chloroplasts are simply cyanobacteria that have evolved to become completely dependent on their plant hosts.
So, really, lichens are effectively photosynthetic in the same sense plants are. But are a composite organism composed of a fungus (nonphotosynthetic) and cyanobacteria (photosynthetic), instead of a single organism
What else can I help you with?
Which kingdom contains organisms that have cell walls of chitin and cannot photosynthesize?
Fungi has a cell wall of chitin and cannot photosynthesize
The kingdom Fungi was separated from the kingdom plantae because of their inability to?
The kingdom Fungi was separated from the kingdom Plantae because fungi lack the ability to photosynthesize. Instead, they obtain their nutrients through external digestion and absorption. This key difference in nutritional mode led to the establishment of a separate kingdom for fungi.
The soft-bodied multicellular eukaryotic organisms shaped like miniature umbrellas found in decomposing dead moist leaves are actually members of kingdom?
Mushrooms are members of the Fungi Kingdom
What is the kingdom whose members are heterotrophs that build cell walls that do not contain cellulose?
The kingdom whose members are heterotrophs that build cell walls without cellulose is Fungi. Fungi have cell walls made of chitin, a structural polysaccharide that provides support and protection for the fungal cells.
To Which kingdom do fungi belong to?
it waz first in the kingdom protoctista but now in kingdom fugus
Which kingdom contains organisms that have cell walls of chitin and cannot photosynthesize?
Fungi has a cell wall of chitin and cannot photosynthesize
How are members of the kingdom fungi different from members of the kingdoms plantae?
Members of the kingdom Fungi are Heterotrophs and the Members of the kingdom Plantae are Photosynthetic Autotrophs.
What group do mushrooms belong?
Mushrooms are fungi, not plants; they belong in the Kingdom Fungi.
The kingdom Fungi was separated from the kingdom plantae because of their inability to?
The kingdom Fungi was separated from the kingdom Plantae because fungi lack the ability to photosynthesize. Instead, they obtain their nutrients through external digestion and absorption. This key difference in nutritional mode led to the establishment of a separate kingdom for fungi.
How are members of the kingdom fungi and kingdom plantae similar?

Members of which kingdom have cell walls and are all heterotrophic?
Fungi
Most members of the fungi kingdom are?
protist
What organelle do the members of the fungi kingdom and plant kingdom share?
chloroplasts
How are members of the animal kingdom different from members of fungi kingdom?
animals are mobile and don't have cell walls
Is mushrooms able to photosynthesize?
No, mushrooms are fungi and so cannot photosynthesize.
What is the Branch of Biology that studies macroscopic and microscopic fungi?
Fungi Fungi used to be classed as members of the Plant Kingdom but are now placed in a separate Kingdom of Life, the others being the Plant Kingdom and the Animal Kingdom.
Members of which kingdom are multicellular producers?
Plantae
