Fungus's and mushrooms in general get their organic carbon source from decaying matter, so that's why they grow on logs and other decaying tree matter. They throw out compounds, usually proteins, to break down the matter and uptake it. Very important in an ecosystem and they have been around much longer than us and will probably will be after we are gone. They serve as one of the garbage men! I hope that makes since seeing I'm completely plastered haha.
