Mushrooms
Mushrooms are not plants and do not photosynthesize. Instead, they are the fruit of a vast underground network of fungal threads known as mycelium. Mycelium can stretch for acres, connecting plants in a forest, enabling them to share resources and even communicate. Some mushrooms are carnivorous, like the oyster mushroom, which feeds on small bugs and worms.
