Most fungi work with plants in their environment to feed and exchange food. Fungi will frequently pass sugars to the host plant whilst feedin on water from the host. MOst fungi rely on the decay of materials to form tendrals which absorbe salts and sugars from the rotting product.
Although fungi are heterotrophs, they do not take food into their bodies as you do. Instead, fungi absorb food through hyphae that grow into the food source.
Plants cells contain chloroplasts, allowing them to make their own food through photosynthesis. Fungi do not have chloroplasts. The cell walls of plants are made up of cellulose while the cell walls of fungi are made up of chitin. Those are only a few of the many differences between plants and fungi.
Plant leaves contain cells with chloroplasts which are important in the process of photosynthesis.
Yes, but they cannot produce their own food.
Fungi do not only grow on rotting vegetation. They can also grow on living plants, animals, and in various other habitats. However, they are commonly found on rotting vegetation because it provides a source of nutrients and moisture that fungi require to grow and thrive.
It depends on what food it is. The fungi will probably get food from the fridge rotting in a day or two but otherwise, I don't really know.
grass leaves and fungi
fungi normally get their food from rotting plant matter such as fruit (I bet you have seen this before in the form of mold) or some times harder materials like wood.
fungi only grows on rotting vegetation because it doesn't have any chlorophyll so it can't make it's own food, so it grows on rotting vegetation because it can take the food from the other plants.
They eat dead materials; such as, rotting wood, dead leaves, etc.

Worms cricets and other small insects
Fungi are heterotrophic (they get their own food). in their mycelium they have hyphae which are like little cells. The fungi use the hyphae to absorb nutrients from organic matter.
Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone.

Decomposers obtain food by, obliviousely, decomposing rotting plants, leaves etc. They also might eat dead animals.
