Fungi, such as mushrooms, obtain their glucose by decomposing organisms in their surroundings and ingesting nutrients. Explain why mushrooms are not green.

Answer 1

Plants are green because they contain chlorophyll, which helps them with photosynthesis, the process of turning sunlight into food. Mushrooms are not green and they contain no chlorophyll; therefore, they cannot photosynthesize. ... That's why you often see mushrooms growing on dead tree stumps.
