Fungi are heterotrophs, and therefore do not synthesize food on their own.
Explanation:
- They depend on other organisms and the environment to absorb organic compounds. Heterotrophs absorb carbon from other organisms for their metabolism and nutrition. Fungi have evolved to grow on a any type of substrate, like nitrate, ammonia etc.
- Fungi decompose dead organic matter like decaying plants or animal matter and absorb soluble organic compounds. Fungi are basically parasites, and being what they are, they can either live in or on other organisms and obtain nutrition.
