Fungi get their food from either dead and decaying organisms or they live off another living organisms nutrients. This can be in the form of parasitism (harming the host), commensalism (not helping or hurting the host), or mutualism (where both the host and the fungi receive a benefit from the partnership). Mutualism is also termed as symbiosis. Fungi do not have chlorophyll to create their own food for like plants.

Do mushrooms make their own food if not how does it take food?
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.
What happen if fungi is gone?
if fungi dies then other organisms won't have food then evently everything dies
What is mushroom food?

Does fungi make food through photosynthesis?
No, fungi do not make food through photosynthesis. Unlike plants, fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment or by forming symbiotic relationships with other organisms.
Why don't fungi not make its own food?

How does fungi get into food?
Fungi get into food through contamination - the fungi is allowed to contact the food in some fashion. In the United States, most cross-contamination like this happens in the home after the food has been open. Fungi are pretty much everywhere and for the most part don't hurt anything.
Mode of nutrition of fungi?
well... i know I'm 8 but the most worst fungi is the death cap.
How do fungi get there food?
Fungi absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their mycelium, a network of thread-like structures. They secrete enzymes to break down organic matter, such as plant material or decaying organisms, into simpler compounds that can be absorbed and used as food.
Do mushrooms make their own food if not how does it take food?

Is fungi an omnivore herbivore or carnivore?
A fungi is not an animal, so none of those. Mushrooms and mold are fungi. Most fungi obtains food by absorbing nutrients from where it is growing, like on decomposing organic matter.
Can fungi help in the food chain?
Fungi have the role of decomposers in the food chain.
How is the producing of food by fungi different from plant food production?
Actually fungi cannot produce food while plants can. Fungi can only absorb food from dead organic matter.
What happen if fungi is gone?
if fungi dies then other organisms won't have food then evently everything dies
How is digestion in fungi different from digestion in human beings?
Most fungi digest their food by extracellular digestion, or at least some hydrolysis occur beforehand. Meaning the food is broken down in compartments that are continuous with the outside of the fungi's body. Example of such an compartment: Gastrovascular cavity.
What are the type of microorganisms harmful to food?
There are a wide variety of microorganisms harmful to food, or causing food to spoil or become contaminated. Most are bacteria and fungi (which include molds and yeasts). There are also a few other types of microorganisms which are neither bacteria nor fungi, which cause food-borne illness, but these are less common. Most of the problem is caused by bacteria, and then fungi...and there are too many to list here or name explicitly.
What are microscopic organisms that recylce organic materials back into the food chain?
Most of bacteria and fungi
Do fungi make food?
No, fungi, like ourselves, must get their food from outside themselves, in other words they are heterotrophs. Most produce enzymes which break down the dead matter on which they grow, in other words they are saprophytes.
