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.
