Unlike plants that use the sun’s energy to make sugars (a process called photosynthesis), fungi decompose organic matter into particles that other living things can use.

  1. Fungi are very interesting. I heard that they help trees communicate and send nutrients to each other. I like cooking puff balls that I find in the woods to eat. They look like pancakes but they taste like mushrooms.
