Answer:
Mushrooms are the fleshy fruiting bodies of Ascomycota, Basidiomycota (fruiting body is known as basidiocarp), and Agaricomycetes. It is also known by the name of Agaricus bisporus. “Mushroom” word is applied mostly to the fungi that have a stipe (stem), a pilus (cap), and lamellae (gills). The specific names of mushrooms when deviating from standard morphology are puffball, stinkhorn, bolete, morels, and agarics (mushrooms with gills). It is an umbrella-like body that produces basidiospores. Some mushrooms are edible whereas some are poisonous.
Saprotrophs are organisms that exhibit a saprotrophic mode of nutrition. These obtain nourishment from dead and decaying matter, they secrete digestive juices on the dead and decaying matter to dissolve it and absorb the nutrients. Mushrooms are saprotrophs because they exhibit a saprotrophic mode of nutrition.
