* Sunlight and Fungus: Fungus are heterotrophs, meaning they get their energy from other organisms. They don't perform photosynthesis like plants, so they don't need sunlight to produce energy.
* Water and Fungus: Water is essential for fungus growth. It acts as a solvent, transporting nutrients and allowing for cellular processes to occur. Fungus also absorb water from their environment, which is how they obtain the nutrients they need to grow.
Key takeaways:
* Fungus needs a source of food (decaying matter, living organisms, etc.)
* Fungus thrives in moist environments.
* While some types of fungus may grow in shady areas, they do not require sunlight for growth.
