Are all fungi producers?

Sagot :

Fungi are not producers.  A producer "produces it's own food" or more specifically, it creates organic molecules from inorganic molecules using a nonliving energy source.  Fungi are consumers because they "consume another organism for food" or more specifically they steal organic molecules from other living things. 


No. Fungi are decomposers.  A producer, makes its own food. A fungus does not make its own food, it breaks down nutrients from dead organisms to get a part of what it needs to survive. Which is why it is called a decomposer.

Hope this Helps!
