Mushrooms are classified as fungi rather than plants because first of all, they do not contain chlorophyll to make their own food, so as a result they are not green and do not need sunlight to grow. Second, there are no actual roots, leaves, or stems. (the tightly packed hyphae make the stem/stalk seem solid). Third, mushrooms mostly feed on dead organisms, which keep the environment clean. So without the fungi's, or mushrooms, help, the Earth would be littered with dead plants and animals!
