Plants have green leaves because they contain chlorophyll, which is used to perform photosynthesis. Mushrooms are not plants, they are fungi, and do not perform photosynthesis -- they gain their energy from decomposing matter instead -- so they do not need green leaves.

∙ 14y agoYes, a mushroom has leaves. It's not widely know, but mushrooms are in fact a fruit. Mushroom Trees are the home to a large amount of wildlife including Mushroom Birds, and Mushroom Tree Frogs. Be careful, those Frogs can be quite a nuisance heehee ;). Hope that helps, and remember to recycle!

Why doesn't the mushroom have any green leaves?
A mushroom does not have leaves like a plant because it is not a plant. It is a fungus, but like a plant, it is a living thing. It feeds off of dead materials in the soil, making it a heterotroph, or a being that gets its food from another source. A plant is an autotroph, making its own food.Using leaves, plants capture sunlight and use stomata to release and take in gasses. Because a mushroom does not use photosynthesis, it has no need for leaves.
What eats fungus?
Leaf-cutter ants, believe it or not, do not eat leaves. They gather fragments of leaves and deposit them in "gardens" in their nests. There, fungus grows on the leaves and THAT is what the ants eat. Also, mushrooms are a type of fungus. So if you eat mushrooms, YOU eat fungus!Similarly, certain fungi can sometimes eat other fungi. An atypical example is the parasitic ascomycete, Hypomyces lactifluorum, which infects a host mushroom (fruiting body of a fungus). This specific combination, Hypomyces lactifluorum + (typically) Russula brevipes or Lactarius piperatus, is known as a single entity, the Lobster Mushroom. The cool part is that this parasite turns an almost inedible mushroom (Lactarius piperatus) into a culinary delight! By itself, this mushroom is described as acrid, hot, peppery, and unpleasant to taste, sometimes causing mild poisonings, but once thoroughly infected with Hypomyces lactifluorum, it becomes not only delicious, but also non-poisonous.
