Signs that bring together mushrooms and animals.

For a long time, mushrooms have been ranked among the plant kingdom, because they also grow on the ground or similar substrates. But over time, scientists have found that mushrooms are much closer to animals in the way they extract nutrients. Both those and others are forced to eat ready-made food, because they do not have the ability to process non-organic substances, as plants do during photosynthesis. For this reason, mushrooms in the wild often grow near trees and receive nutrients from them.
