No. Actually, the nutrients come from fungus in the soil. Fungi called mycorrhizal fungi help solubolize phosphorus and bring soil nutrients (phosphorus, nitrogen, micronutrients, etc.).
Now I have a question for you guys to answer:
If this is true, how does Hydroponics work?
A club fungus placed in an environment with no light would be unable to photosynthesize and produce its own food. It would rely solely on nutrients obtained from the soil or other organic matter in its surroundings, potentially leading to slower growth or eventual death if the environment lacks sufficient nutrients.
Hyphae and mycelium are body structures of fungi. Hyphae are thread-like filaments that make up the fungal body, while mycelium is a network of hyphae that forms the main body of a fungus and helps it absorb nutrients from its environment.
Nutrients in an ecosystem are recycled through processes like decomposition, where organic matter is broken down by bacteria and fungi into nutrient-rich soil. Plants then take up these nutrients from the soil, animals eat the plants, and when plants and animals die, their nutrients are returned to the soil through decomposition to be used again. This cycle continues, ensuring that nutrients are continually recycled within the ecosystem.
A fungus plant root association, also known as mycorrhiza, is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and plant roots. The fungus helps the plant absorb nutrients like phosphorus and water from the soil, while the plant provides sugars to the fungus. This relationship benefits both organisms and is common in many plant species.
Bacteria and fungi in the soil are decomposed by other microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, and archaea. These decomposers break down organic matter from dead organisms into simpler substances, releasing nutrients back into the soil for use by plants and other living organisms. This process is essential for nutrient cycling and maintaining soil fertility.
They don't 'eat' the soil - but they absorb moisture and nutrients from the soil in order to grow.
Sunlight and Nutrients in the soil.
They get nutrients from the soil the grow in, and energy from the sun.
No, grass can't "eat" anything. Well, sort of, but only in the sense that grass feeds on nutrients in the soil, and a decomposing rabbit corpse will leave nutrients in the soil.
Worms don't eat fruit, they eat dirt and excrete nutrients for the soil.
Worms don't eat fruit, they eat dirt and excrete nutrients for the soil.
because there is not enough nutrients in the soil
They get water and nutrients from the soil like other plants.
They're absorbed through the roots, from the soil.
A fungus' purpose is to decompose and recycle nutrients back into soil. It can also cometimes be predatory or work in a symbiotic relationship with plants.

A sponge-like fungus absorbs nutrients from its environment through its porous structure, which allows it to take in water and dissolved nutrients. These nutrients are then absorbed by the fungus through its cell walls and used for growth and reproduction.
