Mushrooms are primarily decomposers, which means they play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, returning nutrients to the soil. As fungi, they absorb nutrients through their mycelium from the environment, helping to recycle nutrients in ecosystems. Some mushrooms can also form symbiotic relationships with plants, acting as mutualistic partners, but they do not produce their own food like plants do. Thus, they are not classified as producers.
