Do Fungi eat any of the things listed below?
Seaweed
Kelp
Coral
Phytoplankton
Fungi do not typically eat the things listed below:
Seaweed: Seaweed is a type of algae that is not consumed by fungi. Fungi obtain nutrients through absorption and typically feed on decaying plant matter rather than living algae.
Kelp: Kelp is also a type of algae and is not a food source for fungi. Similar to seaweed, kelp is not broken down by fungi for nutrition.
Coral: Coral is a marine invertebrate and not a food source for fungi. Fungi do not have the ability to consume living coral or break it down for nutrients.
Phytoplankton: Phytoplankton are microscopic photosynthetic organisms, such as algae and cyanobacteria, that float in water. Fungi do not consume phytoplankton as part of their diet. Fungi obtain organic matter by decomposing dead plant material and do not directly feed on living phytoplankton.
