Fungi grow into their food source by extending filamentous structures called hypha into the food source. This necessitates their being in close proximity, or on the food source to do this.
Mycelium is the threadlike structure found in fungi that grows into the food source. It consists of a network of tiny, branching threads called hyphae that help the fungi absorb nutrients from their environment.
darkness, dampness, and decomposing matter.
Fungi have multicellular filaments called hyphae that grow into food sources such as organic matter. These hyphae secrete enzymes to break down the food into smaller molecules, which are then absorbed for nutrition.
Dimorphic fungi
Fungi absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their mycelium, a network of thread-like structures. They secrete enzymes to break down organic matter, such as plant material or decaying organisms, into simpler compounds that can be absorbed and used as food.
Although fungi are heterotrophs, they do not take food into their bodies as you do. Instead, fungi absorb food through hyphae that grow into the food source.
they need a food source (hyterotrophs), warmth, and moist conditions to grow in.

Fungi do not only grow on rotting vegetation. They can also grow on living plants, animals, and in various other habitats. However, they are commonly found on rotting vegetation because it provides a source of nutrients and moisture that fungi require to grow and thrive.

Umbrella ants cultivate fungi in their colonies as their primary food source. The ants provide protection and care for the fungi, while the fungi break down plant material into a form that the ants can digest. This mutualistic relationship benefits both species in obtaining nutrients and protection.

Fungi actually don't make their food, they're heterotrophic, or decomposer, even though they have cell walls. You find fungi near their food source.
Umbrella ants form a mutually beneficial relationship with fungi called mycorrhizae. The ants cultivate this fungus in their underground gardens, feeding it with organic material and in return, the fungus serves as a food source for the ants. This symbiotic relationship helps both species thrive in their environment.
