Saphrophytic Nutrition

Know Why:-

• The organisms which obtain nutrition from dead and decaying matter are saphrophytic.
• Example Mushroom.
• These do not feed on alive creatures. A pungent smell can so be felt.
• Plus, eating mushrooms such as Angel mushrooms can be dangerous.
• This is because they excrete poisonous chemicals in them when eaten, can kill the organism.

• Autotrophs make their own food.
• Heterotops obtain food from autotrophs and other heterotrops.
