Detailed explanation-1: -Mushrooms are fungi. They belong in a kingdom of their own, separate from plants and animals. Fungi differ from plants and animals in the way they obtain their nutrients. Generally, plants make their food using the sun’s energy (photosynthesis), while animals eat, then internally digest, their food.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mushrooms aren’t plants because they don’t make their own food (plants use photosynthesis to make food). The underground part of the fungus uses enzymes to “digest” other substances that it can use as food.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are unable to produce their organic food through the process of photosynthesis. They are heterotrophic, and depend on the food produced by others. They feed on the dead and decaying remains of living organisms. Due to the absence of photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll, fungi are not included in the kingdom plantae.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi are no longer classified as either plants or animals. Fungi have been divided into a different kingdom, Kingdom Fungi, based on key distinguishing characteristics. Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic creatures that thrive in warm, humid environments.
