A rotter, saprobe or biodegrader. If something is a type, for example, you could say

it is saprophytic. E.g: To say, for example "That mushroom is a saprobe" is like saying "That mushroom is a decomposer," as in that is its job, but saying "That mushroom is saprophytic" is like saying "That mushroom is a decomposing mushroom" as in that's its type, you are classifying it as that.

If you're talking about its ecology you say it's saprotrophic, so saying "That mushroom is saprotrophic" is like saying "That mushroom is found in areas of dead matter," etc.

Hope that asnwered your question!
