Yes, a mushroom is a heterotroph. Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and instead obtain nutrients by consuming other organic matter. Mushrooms, as fungi, absorb nutrients from decomposing organic material, making them essential decomposers in ecosystems. They utilize enzymes to break down complex substances into simpler compounds for absorption.
