mushrooms are decomposers. they decompose and breakdown dead tissues of other plants or species and restore the minerals etc back into the soil. They dont need to make their own food like animals or plants.

One important way fungi are different is the way they eat. Plants make their own food, using chlorophyll, sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Fungi cannot make their own food because they do not have chlorophyll. They must eat other living or once-living matter.
NO,

Fungi are heterotrophic thus do not carry out photosynthesis, they receive their nutrients from parasites and decomposing matter ex worms.
The Digestion is taken place outside of the body but the nutrients is obtained through the cell walls. BUT they do not have cells walls like plants for they do not have cellulose.
OTHER INFO ON FUNGI: They are Eukaryotes and can be unicellular and multicellular.
additional note. Many orchids have minute dust-like seeds that have no food supply in them! They rely upon the seed being invaded by a fungus, whereupon they take over the fungi's hyphae and proceed from there to grow their own plant. There is a group of orchids (Gastrodia) that do not produce chlorophyll, they rely on chlorophyll stolen from the fungi. This unusual behaviour partly explains why orchids have a curious distribution throughout the land. It is the fungi that have a strong land/plant association, and consequently, the orchids.

Does fungi need dead wood to make food?
No it doesn't because fungi needs sunlight to make their own food. They actually need sunlight to make their own food because fungi are not green.
Can fungi plants make their own sugar for food?
Plants and fungi are 2 separate kingdomes. Plants can make their own sugar for food in photosynthsis, fungi are heterotrophs, which means that they are incapable of making their own food.
Most fungi cannot make their own food true or false?
Yes,they cannot make their own food
Which of the following kingdoms include organisms that can make their own food?
fungi and plants
Does fungi make their food?
No. Fungi do not make their food. Things that make their own food are called "Producers" Plants are a producer, but Fungi are Decomposers, which means that they secret digestive juices on nearby life forms, and then they absorb that living thing's nutrients.
Why cant fungi make their own food using photosynthesis?
Has now chlorophyll
Does fungi make food through photosynthesis?
fungi make food by photosynthesis! they take sunlight and nutrients and make their own food....hope that helpss
Why don't fungi not make its own food?
fungi does not make there own food its a mith
Does fungi make its own food?
no
Does fungi need dead wood to make food?
No it doesn't because fungi needs sunlight to make their own food. They actually need sunlight to make their own food because fungi are not green.
Can fungi plants make their own sugar for food?
Plants and fungi are 2 separate kingdomes. Plants can make their own sugar for food in photosynthsis, fungi are heterotrophs, which means that they are incapable of making their own food.
Can fungi prepare their own food?
Fungi are unable to make their own food as their own food , as they live on dead matters. Eg:- They are decomposers. However plants can make their own food as they eat dead things
Do fungi make thir own food?
No
What do fungi feed on since they do not make their own food?
they are autotrophs so they get there own food
Fungi do not make their own food they feed on?
vegetation
Why fungi do not make their own food?
They do not have chlorophyll matter.
How does the fungi make its own food?
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.
