Why is defecation not an excretory process?
Feces is not considered to be a metabolic waste product because the digestive tract is open at both ends and technically, feces has never been inside the body. Feces does contain metabolic wastes, however, and the characteristic smell and color is caused by these metabolic wastes being broken down by the bacterial flora of the large intestine.
Does fungi make their food?
No. Fungi do not make their food. Things that make their own food are called "Producers" Plants are a producer, but Fungi are Decomposers, which means that they secret digestive juices on nearby life forms, and then they absorb that living thing's nutrients.
