they do not contain chlorophyll, so they cannot absorb light energy for phtosynthesis
Mushrooms do not undergo photosynthesis. They are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter or by forming symbiotic relationships with plants. Mushrooms rely on other organisms or organic material for their energy needs.
Mushrooms are a type of fungus and they are used for spreading their organism's spores. Fungi are absorptive heterotrophs and obtain their food from their environments. They do not go through photosynthesis.
No, mushrooms do not have chloroplasts. As fungi, they obtain nutrients through absorption rather than photosynthesis. Mushrooms obtain their energy from breaking down organic matter in their environment.
Q:How do mushrooms obtain their food? A: my best guess is that they get it from what they are growing on. :)
No, mushrooms do not have chlorophyll. Unlike plants, mushrooms are heterotrophic organisms, meaning they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter rather than producing their own through photosynthesis.
they do not need photosynthesis for food.

because it does not have green pigment chlorophyll

Photosynthesis harnesses power of the sun to create energy. Without it life most would not be sustainable.
Yes, fungi and their fruiting bodies (mushrooms) are aerobic organisms and thus require oxygen for their metabolism.
No, mushrooms cannot perform photosynthesis as they do not have chlorophyll, the pigment needed to convert sunlight into glucose. Instead, mushrooms obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter through a process called decomposition.
A tree is likely to carry out photosynthesis, as it has chlorophyll-containing cells that enable it to convert sunlight into energy. Tigers and mushrooms do not have the necessary chlorophyll or organelles to carry out photosynthesis.

Sugar, maybe, as a byproduct of decomposition but not oxygen. Enoki mushrooms are heterotrophic organisms. They are unable to produce their own food via photosynthesis (or chemosynthesis). They are more likely to consume sugars and oxygen than produce them.
